WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE BURDEN OF TRUTH Claire Strand AuthorAn extremely well thought out book, which had me gripped. I was so impressed how the author combined the two strands of the story towards the end. Very clever indeed. Fifty Sheds of books. Amazon reviewer.The Burden of Truth is a thoughtful book that engages the intellect and emotions. It is also well written and full of action, offering an excellent blend. With truth we often have the flip side of the coin, lies, and the author skilfully weaves these threads throughout the narrative. Stevie Boy. Amazon Reviewer.This book has everything! From tragedy, romance and family drama to crime and spiritual enlightenment. I particularly liked the evocative descriptions of the locations and found the details about Buddhism very interesting. The author has clearly done a lot of research and produced an informative and entertaining novel. I can't wait to see where he takes us with the next one. John Day. Author.New authors often have a refreshing story to tell. This one is certainly original and creative. Once the characters have been placed like chess pieces on a board, the game and story takes off. Maxine Groves. Book Lover Catlady.This book was full of surprises and absolutely nothing that I expected. It was very different from anything else I've read for a long time and not only entertained but educated and challenged me too.Along with being a thriller, featuring nasty thugs and gangs, violence and crime the book cleverly weaves in elements of Buddhist teaching and philosophy. Huh? I hear you say, how the heck does that work? It just does, trust me. Wilson book blog.What a fantastic read. Full of thought provoking brilliance. RJ Reviews. A strong mystery thriller which makes you question the purpose of life! Dana Miller. Author.A wonderful blend of action and contemplation. It's rare these days to find a book that goes deeper than the average "hurry up and churn out the next one" type of popular fiction. The Burden of Truth is one of those rarities, enjoyable on two levels, both as an action-filled page-turner and as a book to make the reader think. Colin Griffiths. Author.Brilliant plot. I really loved this book. Not only has it got a brilliant plot, it gives you characters you care about and they come alive in your mind and sometimes it felt like you were watching a film. That to me is what a good book should do and this does it in aces.
