“I found the book 'You Killed My Wife' to be quite intriguing, particularly the sections about spy gadgets and observation techniques. While I enjoyed the story, I did have some questions about the seemingly unlimited supply of resources that Mort had at his disposal. Additionally, I found his behavior towards women to be confusing and troubling. Overall, I would highly recommend this exciting and engaging read to others and am eagerly anticipating the release of the second book.”

“Wow! That was a wild ride! This book had a lot of things. Intrigue, adventure, humour, human interaction and really well-developed characters. I didn’t feel like any of them were “filler” at all, each individual personality fitted the story really well. The story was gritty and gripping and the dialogue was one of the strengths. A really solid read.”

"You Killed My Wife is the first book in what I suspect is going to be a series of books by George Watson. It quickly became a book I couldn’t put down, with unexpected twists and turns. I am looking forward to the second book (hint hint)"

"A fast moving crime novel, set in Brisbane and Sydney. It has echoes of Queensland's recent political history, mixed in with high technology, corporate crime, corruption and flashes of Australian humour, which make an entertaining story, and very hard to put down!"

“Mort has just returned home after military duty. First he wants to find out what happened in his wife’s accident. When he meets up with an old friend, they decide to start a crime agency where they will monitor companies' security systems. It’s a very interesting read. There is a mix of actions, cybersecurity, relationships, and justice.”
