Reviews for The Chemical Cocktail
I swam 24km in 5 days. Hard work?
Try tuna canning, salt drying or sulphur mining…

The Chemical Cocktail (Jaq Silver Thriller) eBook : Erskine, Fiona: : Kindle Store https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chemical-Cocktail-Silver-Thrillers-Book-ebook/dp/B0FG8X59MT
The Chemical Cocktail goes right back to Jaq’s childhood and can be read first - only £0.99
Trust me, you won’t regret reading this. Exquisite prose and a rollicking, propulsive, deeply moving story. @novelcarolyn is a fearless writer who wears her deep research so lightly that you are instantly immersed into the booming north of the 1720s
🚨PUBLICATION DAY🚨
Ravenglass is available everywhere now! A tender and powerful tale of a gender fluid character trying to make their way in the 1700s, we can't recommend this incredible adventure novel enough 🏳️🌈

Chocolate digestives: How do you eat them? Choc side up or down? - CBBC Newsround https://www.bbc.com/newsround/articles/cvg7lnp19n0o
Last of the first editions - snap them up quick - a unique investment!
Look who I found in @blackwelloxford when I was there at the weekend?
Not one but two of @erskine_fiona's excellent Jaq Silver thrillers #thechemicalcode and #thechemicalcocktail just along the shelves from The Cure.
Nice facing, Fiona! You'll have to come to Oxford to sign them!
Ravenglass by @novelcarolyn is the most beautifully written exploration of how we once lived and worked and lived and loved and fought in the north. A cracking good read, I cannot recommend it strongly enough - a complete breath of fresh air.

Greetings to all my friends at @bloodyscotland! So sorry I won’t be there this year but research takes priority @SwimTrek
First book of my holiday complete. Thank you @erskine_fiona. An entertaining & complex story - easily transporting me from the Maltese sun I’m currently basking in to the cold dark Teeside winter. I look forward to reading more about DI Julie Cadell.
