An Influential Murder Review in Amazon https://www.amazon.in/review/RN9VM2PEMIWSD Close to 3.5 stars for me.  The best part of the book is the time taken to complete it. At just over 160 pages it is an eminently short reading and can actually be completed in a single extended session. While juggling over 30 books, I still completed this in 4 days of spaced out reading.  The story line would sound familiar with incidents like this becoming a part of our daily lives. This book at heart is a whodunit an...

⭐⭐⭐    Stars From the Book Blurb   A druid apprentice with a black thumb; A final test. Will Rex  discover the truth before Spring is lost forever? FIREBRAND the Review I received a free copy of this book and my thanks to the author, Claudia Blood and the team of BookSirens for the copy. All views expressed in this review are my own and based on my reading of this book. Some of the initial comments were made as I progressed in this book and I have not tried editing them as it expresses my contiguous thoughts as I proceeded with the story. I had picked this book of an author whose works I had never read and liked what the blurb mentioned. The book cover has also been designed well and creates an interest for the book.  This is a short story and possibly a part of a larger tale but this review will only talk about the story at hand. The story in totality is something which would be a 4 star reading but for the fact that the starting part of the book which appeared ...
