Review:

'A fast paced novel that should make it to the big screen. As ever, with Linda M James, the storyline hurtles towards a gripping denouement.'
R.J. Dearden

I was hooked from the first page of reading this intriguing psychological thriller. The novel focuses on identity. The premise being: if memories give you your identity and someone takes those memories away, then who are you? Gripping!
Dr. M.D. Mannion
'The Day of the Swans was a brilliant novel which held me in suspense until the end... Strongly recommend this to everyone!
