Metro News featured an interview with client Samantha Baines this week, regarding hearing aids. Samantha discovered at the age of 30 that she needed to wear a hearing aid, and put it off as long as she could, admitting she had an outdated view of them. However, wearing a hearing aid has completely changed her life, and inspired her first children’s book, Harriet!, due to be published by Knights Of, in October 2019. 

Ragnar Jonasson’s second ‘Hidden Iceland’ series, The Island has been named as one of the top five best reviewed books of the week. This is the second book to star DI Hulda Hermansdóttir and has already garnered much praise from the likes of The Times (“… an excellent addition to the class of top-band woman detectives”); AJ Finn (“His best book yet”) and Sunday Times Crime Club (“We heart the melancholy Hulda”).
