The Star newspaper reviews When The Actor Inspired Chaos and Bloodshed

My second novel, When The Actor Inspired Chaos and Bloodshed, is scheduled for release on April 1st. Today, The Star, sometimes known as the Sheffield Star, carried a wonderful review of the novel. “Litchfield’s intense and topical drama sizzles like charred meat over hot coals, eventually erupting into a massive blaze of mesmerising chaos,” book critic Pam Norfolk writes. “Amidst the thrills and spills, readers encounter a cast of well-defined characters whose actions and voices manage to rise above the risible film script. Fans of edge-of-the-seat thrillers filled with exotic settings, non-stop action, and a cast of ambitious artistes battling fears, egos, insecurities, and daily disasters, will relish Nicholas Litchfield’s pulse-pounding novel, When The Actor Inspired Chaos and Bloodshed.”
