Out of the blue (Lukasz Stone 1)

A wonderful yarn well worth taking a look at. Twists, turns, a fun thrilled read and witty to boot. Smith’s musings are clearly based on his knowledge and keen understanding of insurance and marine matters. The Royal Navy missed a trick with this man!

Fantastic!!

Out of the blue? It certainly was for me.. so unexpected.. it’s a shame it had to end.. went to bed with this every night.. the author is brilliant!!

watch out Lee Child…,

I’ve got a rotten cold, but having to stay in bed today meant that I could settle down and read Out of the blue all in one go. It’s a page turner. The plot is intriguing, the insider knowledge of super yachts and insurance draws the reader into a world full of deception and greed but also of humour and humanity. The characters are well drawn and believable. I loved Out of the Blue, you will too.

A well-written page-turner

I really liked the writing style and enjoyed the level of description and detail. The characters were believable and well-rounded. It was a real page-turner – I had trouble putting it down. Whole-heartedly recommended.
