Gamble by Kerry Hadley-Pryce
Greg Gamble: hes a teacher, he works hard, hes a husband, a father. Hes a good man, or tries to be. But even a good man can face a crisis. Even a good man can face temptation. Even a good man can find himself faced with difficult choices.A stunning read
* Blue Book Balloon *Some readers may sympathise with Greg in his loveless marriage, with the child that was a mistake, with the threat of bad news hanging over him and a longing to be free of his domestic shackles. Others might really dislike him. I did. However, I was compelled to read to the end to find out exactly what he’d had done, and it’s because of the quality of writing. Read it yourself and see.
* Nudge *A quietly chilling depiction of what lies just below the surface of an outwardly ordinary and respectable family. A desolate yet riveting read.
* Neverimitate *Landscape is a cauldron for Kerry Hadley-Pryce’s intensely creepy and evocative writing.
