"Rose is the best sidekick since Dr. Watson." Amazon reviewer

​"Beautiful. Lyrical. Unexpected." – Linda L. Richards

"Deadly entertaining..." -Larry Kahaner


"Rose and Charlie are meant to be together-everybody needs a Rose in this here life and in the great beyond."

"One of the most imaginative books I’ve read in a while... really satisfying."-Terry Shames

​"...the freshest take on the crime novel I've read in years."–Paddy Magrane, 

"...like a Noir novel by Sam Beckett." -Derek Farell

"A wonderful, original, hilarious, and brilliant book. I really enjoyed it. I think you’ll like it very much indeed…  A must read." –Eric Idle

 "DEAD IS BETTER is a total delight, a terrifically original, always surprising, very funny..." ––Timothy Hallinan 

 "Highly recommend off-beat, grim, funny, moving, philosophical mystery 4 dog-lovers,"​ –Cat Warren,  journalist and author of What The  Dog  Knows

"...weird, unique, funny and sad all at the same time. An emotional read,
but a bloody great story!"
–Bibliophile Book Club​

"Love this. Existentially-challenged narrator (and dog) investigate his own murder. Vividly evokes Hollywood & a dysfunctional family. (Is there any other kind?) Thought-provoking epigraphs include RD Laing. (Not dead yet, Ronnie.) Brilliant!"––Mark Ramsden

"...utterly magical - elegant, meditative, wise and a cracking good read!"––Paddy Magrane

"A wonderful, poignant, and a book with heart- Dead Is Better made me smile, chuckle and gave mea fair few sad moments of contemplation... Rose and Charlie are meant to be together-everybody needs a Rose in this here life and in the great beyond." 
––​Eleri Sydney
