About the Author:

Robert was born in 1979 and lives in Kent with his wife, children, and bonkers dalmatian, Dexter.

He ran a private investigation agency for over fifteen years, dealing in cases that involved breach of contract claims, commercial debt recovery, and process serving. Robert’s agency also specialised in people tracing; so much of his work revolved around tracking down debtors, dealing in adoption matters, and locating missing persons. At times, he worked on some pretty bizarre cases and dealt with plenty of interesting and sometimes colourful individuals.

Since 2014, Robert has worked self-employed in the pet care industry. He is a keen trail runner, mountain biker and kayaker. Robert has a huge passion for screenwriting for many years and started writing novels during the first lockdown.

The Feud on Dead Lane Review:

Ok, I will be honest. When I started reading this book, I wondered if I would enjoy it. Slow burners are usually not my cup of tea, and initially, I had slight difficulty in the dialogues and dialects the characters spoke with each other. But, once our characters witnessed a murder, the story progressed nicely, and the author drew me in on the story’s direction, and I got used to the author’s style and enjoyed it a lot.

The author progresses the story beautifully in the second half, where a lot happens, leading to a gripping climax! I had no idea how the two storylines would connect, and the author took it in an exciting approach which I liked.

Even though there were initially a lot of characters on canvas, I thought all of them stood out. Whether it be Craig, Nino, Karl, Duncan, or even Ravi, the author did not make any of the characters dull. You start to emotionally connect with quite a few of them (my favorite was Nino), as you don’t know what would happen to them. I even got to enjoy Karl as a character, even though he was annoying in the beginning.

Moreover, I loved listening to the audio version by Alan Turton. The narrator depicts the tale with the right tones, making me go through all the characters’ emotions.

Overall, “The Feud on Dead Lane” is a fun crime thriller that will surprise you. Even if you don’t feel connected to it initially, try it, and you will surely enjoy reading it.
