Praise for Cast A Deadly Shadow: 'The plot and characterisation of Cast A Deadly Shadow are brilliant.Each character is layered and has a depth that makes it impossible not to become attached to them, both the good and bad guys. The twisted plot is captivating from the start and I challenge you not to love it.' an AND ON SHE READS review. 'I found Cast A Deadly Shadow to be well paced and nicely told. It has plenty of twists and thrills but the quieter moments were well covered too, and the author made the characters engaging and well defined for the new listener. Enough action to hold me, not too many characters and events to make it confused and over the top. Definitely a thumbs up- enjoyed my time with this listen.' A GRAB THIS BOOK review. Extensive praise for Roger Granelli includes: For Pushover- Granelli carries it off quite brilliantly, and the writing is very compelling. He is a real talent- ANDREW ROSENHEIM, Amazon Singles Editor. 'His characters breathe, make you care. One day the people that count will realise that Roger Granelli is one of the best street-level thriller writers around--- the best un-sung novelist in Wales'- best-selling novelist PHIL RICKMAN. Granelli is an author with a cohesive style, tight and effective, with a pretty decent grasp of the dark places of the psyche. Mark Richards operates on instinct and intuition and is unshakeably realistic and comprehensively drawn. The plot is firm and solidly built, and is relevant to the times. Granelli should appeal to readers of grisly realistic thrillers and is the best such author to revel in his Welsh roots. And I liked it!"- Waterstones "This is a thriller which will lead you by the nose through some fine writing. Granelli sets the scenes in London, South Wales and Amsterdam with keen observation and gives us characters that may sometimes be extreme but are always believable. The pace is electric and keeps you hooked. It would make a good film as well as a good read" - Western Mail 'Granelli has a gift for making characters emerge, for letting actions speak for themselves'- New Welsh Review Magazine. 'Roger Granelli writes fluently and vividly, and involves one in his story, creating characters and atmosphere effortlessly'- John Pikoulis, New Welsh Review. 'Roger Granelli' s books are incredibly hard to put down.'- The Big Issue Dead Pretty is an excellent second Accent novel by Granelli'- Books Monthly For Crystal Spirit, 'Granelli offers a skilful portrayal of a young man's rites of passage'- Publishers Weekly
