About this ebook
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 YEOVIL LITERARY PRIZE.
Twenty-two year old graduate, Mike Denning, takes employment in an experimental town on a remote island off the coast of Ireland. Fascinating location, excellent wages, food and accommodation all paid for, fine seaside summer weather, and a gorgeous young lady boss who happens to be unattached. If only the place weren't so strange. As Mike begins to investigate, he realises he too is being watched. Can he find out what's really going on without putting his life in danger? One thing he does know – he’s stuck on this island with no way of escape.
“A breath of fresh air in the mystery genre ... unlike any other mystery novel I have ever read ... kept me on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what was going to happen next.” Sefina Hawke for Readers’ Favourite 5-star review
"Gripping from the first to the last page!" Alexandra Williams for LoveReading.co.uk (Indie-Books-We-Love)
”An exceptional mystery, with just the right amount of clues for the reader to make educated guesses about what is really happening in this little town.” Deborah Lloyd for Readers’ Favourite 5-star review
"...the ending is absolutely unexpected. The Secret Resort Of Nostalgia is a perfectly conceived entry in the mystery genre..." Jennifer Jackson for Indies Today (5-star review)
The reader feels suspended on a thread, hanging between dream and waking, absorbed by the creepiness of the story ... This book is a great read.” Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favourite 5-star review

Educated at Dover Grammar School, Kent, and then at the University Of Birmingham, where I studied microbiology and philosophy. After variously working as a shadow puppet theatre manager and prospective jazz saxophonist, I taught myself computer programming, becoming a freelance consultant. My writing career began, aged nine and a half, when I won a TV national children's short story competition. Thereafter my writing became dormant, apart from a couple of Edinburgh Fringe comedy reviews, until it was revived in protest against a religious movement I once belonged to. Through that experience I gained an understanding of the mechanism by which the arrogance of cults brings out the very worst in human nature. It also provided much useful character study for my subsequent writing, as, for much more positive reasons, did my permanent move to live in the Republic Of Ireland thirty years ago
