Reviews for Shifting Skin

‘Nice…it’s a grim, dark and seedy picture painted here.
Lads Mag

Manchester detective, Jon Spicer, gets a second outing and a series of gruesome murders to solve. Spicer...throws himself body and soul into investigations..’
Manchester Evening News

‘As Spicer gets closer to his quarry we are dragged into the seedy world of prostitution, domestic violence and cut-cost cosmetic surgery, and just when you think you may have guessed the outcome, Simms finishes with a burst of pace and an illuminating twist. A highly entertaining read.’
Coventry Evening Telegraph


‘Shifting Skin has all the ingredients – blood, excitement, speed, mystery and realistic, likeable characters…from a writer who is fast making his mark as a top talent.’
Peterborough Evening Telegraph

‘Dark and genuinely frightening, ‘Shifting Skin’ had me burning the midnight oil in order to get to the end. An excellent read.’
Shots Magazine

‘From first page to last, this is as compelling a read as anyone has a right to wish for…Chris Simms has again created a monster-sized value pack of twists and turns that will keep the reader enthralled until its final, dramatic pages.’

A reader’s thoughts

If you find the views of ordinary readers just as important as the opinions of professional reviewers, here is an email I received. I swear by my writing hand that it’s genuine. If you have a glowing report too, I give signed hardbacks and £50 compliments slips to any that I print. (That’s a joke.)

Recently read "Shifting Skin" thought it was excellent. I'm now trying to track down your other books.
