Customer Reviews

His writing is like good wine (really!)

Beautifully structured, ages well, satisfying on its own yet leaves you with a desire to sample more. The Boss in the Wall, completed by his ex-wife and partner, Grania Davis, contains many of the best qualities of Davidson's writing. It is filled with wonderful bits of knowledge you won't find collected anywhere else; each piece adds to the enjoyment of the story; the reader walks a few pages listening to a terrific story-teller and then - BANG - she is in the middle of an involving tale without being entirely sure how she got there. Read - read - read.
