PRAISE FOR THE WORLD ENTIRE:
"The World Entire not only delivers a gripping mystery but also invites readers to reflect on the profound themes of connection, redemption, and the enduring power of empathy. ...An essential read that lingers long after the final page." Gabor Por, Jewish Book World
"Another thought provoking mystery from this unique author. Great sense of place. Wry humour. Vividly drawn characters, both human and canine. Life, death and the afterlife. Sacred and sordid. It's all here." Mark Ramsden, author of Dread: The Art of Serial Killing and Mistress Murder
"This is a monster of a beautiful book. ...A triumph.” Matt Phillips, author of A Good Rush of Blood and Know Me from Smoke
Powerful and propulsive, The World Entire is about murder, hatred and love’s redemptive power.
