In a tropical rainstorm, just make a pot of tea and sit on the balcony with a good book ... that's what this reader did.

The Green Feathers was spotted in the rain forests of Australia. Can I now claim that it has gone global?

Making mescaline from the cacti was a great idea but it knocked out Hamish and gave Miss Brodie the wind something terrible.

Maria on Amazon - 5 stars:

"If you enjoy traditional spy novels with a sprinkle of humour you will love this read.
The main focus is on a character called Empty who I loved and the rivalry between British departments.

Very well written and easy to read."

Janet Rose on Amazon:

"Expertly plotted with characters so well written they jumped off the page and descriptions so vivid I felt I was right there in the centre of the action.

I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline ... I will be reading them all."

On this stormy Sunday in the UK, why not give this podcast a try? It will cheer you up.

Ever wondered why an agent only reads chapter 3 of a submitted text or why 1982 was a pivotal moment in the spy world? Why not take a listen?

I would be interested in the thoughts of other members of the book community on here.

Review from @amwbooks.bsky.social
" ... a series which goes from strength to strength, this for me is the best so far.
A book which had me engaged and hooked from the opening pages until the breathtaking finale ...
... now a go to author for me."

"The pace is quick and flows very well, continually keeping interest in what’s going to happen next in this tightly plotted book.
Go down to The Green Feathers, or your local pub anyway, have a drink and get stuck into this book, that’s well worth reading!"

Lovely review from Sarah B and, yes, there will be more Mike.

"It is a roller-coaster of a read!
It was entertaining, fast-paced, full of twists and turns, pacy and suspenseful. It was unputdownable. More Mike please."

"Another fantastic addition to a stellar series!

One of my favourite series returns as Mike Kingdom is back in another geo-political crackerjack from David Jarvis.

There isn’t another author I can name who is so on the pulse of current world affairs in their stories."

Review from Claire on Goodreads.

A gripping, intelligent page-turner where every decision feels weighted with consequence. If you like your thrillers smart, international, and emotionally charged, The Green Feathers delivers in spades.

David Jarvis weaves another intricate tapestry of intriguing stories. He introduces Tina and allows us to begin to suspect we know what is going on. Of course, at the end, we find we couldn't have been more wrong! As always perfect research - the Queen loves dark chocolate!
