“I had high hopes for Hessman’s Necklace from the outset and I wasn’t disappointed. It was fast-paced, descriptive, with a tight plot and convincingly drawn characters throughout,” writes Rachel Deeming for Reedsy Discovery, a platform dedicated to reviewing new independent books.
“The beginning of the book and the way we meet [Ray] is comic and there is a wryness of humour throughout which permeates the text; however, as Ray gets deeper into his mission, it is clear that this is no simple task and that he is going to have to have his wits about him and Litchfield infuses the book with more tension and less humour, leading convincingly to a surprising climax. I would recommend – good story, well delivered.”
