Customer Reviews

all 4 books by sheila quigley.
Sheila Quigley I have read all your books I have very little to say except keep them coming FANTASTIC AND GRIPPING from beginning to the end I look forward to your next one.I just wish I did not have to wait so long.What I would like is to see them made into films.

Sheila Quigley does it again
I have just finished reading this gutsy novel, fourth in the series. I grew up in a similar environment and reading this was like reliving my childhood. Sheila manages to capture the imagination and I just couldn't put it down - the Lumsden family could have been my own - a real down to earth group of poor, closely knit kids who live in each other's space but look out for each other when the going gets tough. Lorraine Hunt is totally believable balancing her gruelling workload with her delicate personal life. These novels would make a great TV series. Good Luck Sheila and keep them coming.

Every Breath You Take
I have read everyone of Sheila Quigleys books and I think she is one of the top new writers! It has taken me only days to read each book as you just can not put them down until they are finished! I find this lady to be very talented and gifted, keep up the good work and hopefully get more than one book a year published. I rate all of her books with a 5 star!!!!!
