He was, I do like his books

Thanks for the enlightenment, Jo. I live less than 20 miles from his birthplace, though I’ve never heard of him. Based on your post, I intend to look out his books and give him a go. My favourite genres are crime/mystery and sword and sorcery, and I am always on the lookout for new authors.
The only way you will know if you like his writing is to read one of his books, yes we all have to keep a look out for new authors as our favourites only write so many books
