Davin Ardlie’s excellent The Morton Smuggler is getting some positive author feedback:
“A heartfelt, thoroughly entertaining read. Spans many parts of the world, with the author's experience and/or research in the various locations shining through. Highly recommended - commendations to the author.”
“What a thrilling tale of adventure, intrigue, love and loss. I was captivated from the opening chapter and couldn’t put it down. The ending had me in floods of tears, what a remarkable story.”
“The Morton Smuggler is one of the best books I’ve read - and I’ve read a lot, both for pleasure and in my work as a copy editor. The storyline takes the reader on a roller-coaster of experiences and emotions in various countries, always underpinned by the mystery of the Morton Smuggler. The resolution of the mystery is both satisfying and heartwarming.”
“Rupert took me on a journey far beyond fishing—a multi-city voyage of self-discovery. In his search for values to live by, found within the Five F’s, I witnessed Rupert’s transformation from boyhood into manhood. This character is at the heart of a story set in beautifully crafted locations and filled with characters of depth, all woven together in a storyline as intriguing as it is entertaining. Experiencing Rupert’s path feels like reading a novel of great importance before the fanfare and plaudits. It’s as if I have been entrusted with the secrets to a fulfilling life, straight from Rupert himself. If there were more Ruperts in the world, it truly would be a better place. His story will stay with me forever. Bravo!”
