Reviews of 'Take No More'
Hi
Just to post one of the 5* reviews for 'Take No More': 'TAKE NO MORE is my favorite kind of thriller: an ordinary person is thrust into extraordinary circumstances and must develop the skills to overcome them. In this case, a husband tries to investigate his wife's unexplained death, and in doing so, finds himself thrust into the world of art restoration, priceless works of art, and a powerful Italian family with all sorts of secrets. Most of it is set in the city of Florence, and the author has clearly done his homework -- reading the novel is like taking a trip to Italy. Bottom line: If you like Harlan Coben type novels, with a dash of Daniel Silva too, you'll love TAKE NO MORE.' Take No More out now on Kindle at the special price of 99c. But for one month only. So don't miss out! Best wishes Seb Last edited by Seb Kirby; 05-30-2011 at 06:41 AM. |

Take No More out now on Kindle at the special price of 99c.
For one month only. So make sure you don't miss out! Here are some more reviews: ------------------------------------------------------- 'Take No More is an absolutely stunning thriller from a new author, I can't remember the last murder mystery I read that was so good…….' ------------------------------------------------------- 'Wow! This is action-packed from page one, and the reader is instantly thrust into murder, suspense, and intrigue. James is just a normal guy who thinks he has a normal life. Until the murder of his wife. He's forced on a journey from the UK to Italy to find her killers, and finds himself in the midst of a powerful Italian family, the hunt for precious works of art, and danger at every turn. The writing gives you the feel of actually being in Italy - you can taste and smell it. The plot is action-packed and a real page-turner. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great crime thriller! And fans of Harlan Coben and Simon Kernick will love it!' -------------------------------------------------------------- 'This is an outstanding debut novel by Seb Kirby. He captivates the reader from the first page, and remains gripping and compelling throughout.I could not put this book down. Listed under Murder,Mystery and Thriller but so much more than that. The geography of London and Florence was handled very well to add richness to the novel, alongside the Authors' obvious love and knowledge of the art world .In addition to this,the reader is taken into the Italian underworld weaving a web of corruption,deceit,secrets and murder around the whole plot. If you enjoy a really good Thriller,in the style of Sidney Sheldon with extras, and are prepared to be kept on the edge of your seat throughout, this book is a definite must! I am eagerly awaiting the next novel.' Best wishes Seb |

Hi
Top Kindle thriller 'Take No More'. ------------------------------------------------------- 'Take No More is an absolutely stunning thriller from a new author, I can't remember the last murder mystery I read that was so good…….' ------------------------------------------------------- Take No More – Julia’s Story In 'Take No More', Julia Blake is a conservator, working with classic paintings. Her expertise includes imaging beneath the surface of paintings to discover what lies beneath. She is sure that a number of those valuable paintings described as 'missing, believed lost or destroyed' have in fact been overpainted as a means of hiding them and preventing their being destroyed when the moral edicts of the past deemed them unsuitable. She has tracked down a collection of pictures in Florence that looks promising and has gone there to use the new imaging techniques to try to discover a hidden masterpiece and make her reputation. 'Take No More' begins when James Blake, Julia's husband, returns to their home in London to find that she has been shot and killed. What had brought her back to London unannounced? Why had someone killed her? Blake determines to find her killers no matter what. He has little to go on - just her last message to him sent from her mobile phone: 'help me' with an attachment showing Michelangelo's 'Leda and the Swan'. There is no help from the police as he is impeded by the unsympathetic Inspector Hendricks who suspects him of the murder..... Out now on Kindle. Take No More - US Take No More - UK Take No More - Germany Best wishes Seb |

Why I won't buy or read your book!
Because it appears to be only available on the Kindle and there are a lot of us who (a) do not own Kindles and (b) prefer not to do business with Amazon. I know Amazon wants ebookers to think that the whole ebook world revolves around Amazon, but it doesn't.
Please be sure to let us know when, if ever, your book is available at Smashwords. Even Kindle owners can buy books at Smashwords. |
