My sincere thanks to Bits About Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.
As always, my review is based solely on my own reading experience and reflects my honest opinion.
About the Author
Ross Greenwood was born in 1973 in Peterborough and lived there until he was 20, attending The King’s School in the city. He then began a rather nomadic existence, living and working all over the country and various parts of the world.
Ross found himself returning to Peterborough many times over the years, usually, so he says “when things had gone wrong.” It was on one of these occasions that he met his partner about 100 metres from his back door whilst walking a dog. Two children swiftly followed. And, according to Ross, he is “still a little stunned by the pace of it now.”
Lazy Blood book was started a long time ago but parenthood and then four years as a prison officer got in the way. Ironically it was the four a.m. feed which gave the author the opportunity to finish the book as unable to get back to sleep he completed it in the early morning hours.
Ross Greenwood’s second book, The Boy Inside, was picked up by Bloodhound Books, and in September 2017, Fifty Years of Fear was published. The year 2018 saw the publication of his next psychological thriller, Abel’s Revenge. All his books are thought provoking, and told with a sense of humour.
Ross Greenwood hopes you enjoy reading them.

My Review
I found this a fascinating story which had me gripped from the very start.
The author tells the tale of Katie who has faced awful things in her life, including spending years in prison. I was immediately drawn to Katie and was backing her all the way in her attempt to build a new life following her release from prison.
Ross Greenwood has used his experience as a prison officer to give us such an insight and feeling of this being more of a true story than fiction – it is not true, it is very much a work of fiction – but I did have to keep reminding myself of that.
I have now purchased kindle copies of all of Ross Greenwood’s other novels and will certainly be adding this author to my ‘must-buy’ author list!!
