Author of: The Tip of the Iceberg This Is Not a Pipe The Violin and Candlestick The Mongoose and the Cobra The Green Feathers Thought-provoking thrillers available from Hobeck Books and Amazon "A writer at the top of his game"
Surely they haven't found out where Jan the Dutchman lived? "This is a book, a series and an author which I can’t recommend highly enough." Andy Wormald @amwbooks "David has perfected his craft." MLWillliams @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/qDDMia6hng
Congratulations to Olly Jarvis and everyone in the Hobeck team @hobeckbooks.bsky.social for the excellent review in The Times today.
Interested in the complex relationship between Morocco, Spain and Algeria? Why not read This is not a Pipe? "The way in which David Jarvis writes is engaging and intelligent, with a dry humour to it ..." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social Amazon t.co/R31f6m7rhD
They all watched in anticipation to see if the wart on Isabelle's head had disappeared after the vicar had whacked it with the Holy Bible. Unfortunately, it seemed to be getting bigger. @girlsown.bsky.social
Amazon 5* review of The Green Feathers A great read. I love spy stories. "A cracking read. I was glued to this for the day and a half it took me to read it, although I did take breaks for sustenance now and again!" @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/Z09AgFqL80
Still don't know the identity of Jan the Dutchman? @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/qDDMia6hng
"... you may only lift and clean the ball when it is on the green. Now, Roddy, no more Rules of Golf. Put your putter back in the bag." @girlsown.bsky.social
New review "Yet another great thriller from David - they keep on getting better. Great plotting and characters. Mike Kingdom stars again. That Jan the Dutchman isn't called Jan, isn't a Dutchman and isn't dead is a great premise. Thank-you David and keep them coming." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social
"What are we queuing for?" "2027 Wimbledon tickets." @girlsown.bsky.social
LesleyB on Amazon "David's writing style is very easy to read, sprinkled with wry humour; his characters are believable and plotting exciting ... I've already taken 'Mike' Kingdom into my heart. Bring on her next case." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/8ihOccQjps
What a great idea from @vizcomic.bsky.social ? I 'll try this with Rebecca and Adrian @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and see how I get on. Could save me months of writing. I'll let you all know what they say.
Review from USA "Another clever "this could be happening right under your nose" scheme; another case of trying to think through the possibilities as fast as Mike uncovers new facts; another example of just the right touch of irony and humour." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social Amazon t.co/qDDMia6hng

"Have you had spotted dick before, Harry?" "No, but I eat a lot of yoghurt and I find wearing a loose dress helps." @girlsown.bsky.social
New 5* review from USA "Exactly the kind of main character I want to get to know better working against a criminal with a very clever scheme. Nicely written, with an amusing twist in the very last line, and kept my interest all the way through." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social and Amazon t.co/8ihOccQjps
Well, that's the advertising budget blown ... what next? @hobeckbooks.bsky.social, Amazon amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G8KJ2W9S and all good book stores
New review "Another brilliant novel by one of the masters in the art of storytelling. This author seems to give a bit more with each book he produces. The dilemma for me with this book was wanting to know how it ends but not wanting it to the end." @hobeckbooks.bsky.social Amazon t.co/Gvv57IwKjJ

Another gem by David Jarvis "My holiday read was the fifth book in the Mike Kingdom series and as usual, author David Jarvis didn’t disappoint. I like the observational humour allied to a strong and topical spy plot, created another gem for me." From Hobeck Books and Amazon t.co/Z09AgFqL80
"Mary, when I said 'grab John Fortescue's crutch', that's not what I meant." @girlsown.bsky.social
