Reviews
Eric Daniel Ryan succeeds in The Coward of Grimsby...taking readers off-guard by disguising an emotional story of loss and new beginnings within an epic, adventurous tale.
-The Independent Book Review
With plenty of mysteries to be solved, the story kept me at the edge of my seat and I could feel my heart beating with passion and curiosity.
-Verified Amazon Reviewer
This is a tightly written, entertaining, and thoughtful story that is perfect for whiling away an afternoon with treasure enough to make it feel worthwhile.
