O…M…G!!! Must read

I have only recently become a fan of Wes Markin and his DCI Yorke series.
But once started I have almost binge listened to them.
Better the devil is just mind blowing!
The story builds upon all the previous and takes it to places I never expected.
Twists, turns, shocks and tears. I just never knew what was coming next.

If you are into detailed no holds barred crime thrillers, Better the Devil is an unputdownable must read.
It’s not just a read, it’s an experience!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
