James Hazel <b>grabs you from the off and doesn't let go until the very end</b>. This is his first novel. It's definitely not his last

Martyn Waites on The Mayfly

A <b>compelling</b> mystery that <b>has you tearing through the pages</b>. <b>Charlie Priest is a genius creation</b>. He's <b>brilliant</b> and border-line dysfunctional but you can't help liking him. <b>Highly recommended</b>

J. S. Carol on The Mayfly

Occasionally horrifically <b>shiver inducing</b>, never less than <b>irresistible</b>, <i>The Mayfly</i> is really <b>top notch</b>. <b>Intelligently constructed</b>, <b>characters to die for</b> and a truly sterling opening to what I hope will be a long running series. Charlie Priest. <b>Remember the name</b>

<b>Addictive</b>. There is something <b>wonderfully macabre</b> about Hazel's debut thriller. It may well be the motley crew that surrounds Priest, (who isn't exactly without his own difficulties), who entranced me . . . With this <b>marvellous cast</b>, Hazel's thriller certainly keeps rolling along at a <b>cracking pace </b>. . . I can honestly say that <b>I haven't completed a book in such double quick time</b> as I did <i>The Mayfly</i>. Having been reviewing for over twelve years now, I can sense a good thriller. You will be <b>guaranteed to be on to a winner </b>with <i>The Mayfly</i>
