Here are a few of the five-star reviews for The Good the Bad and The Crafty that are now on Amazon.
What an awesome read, a bit of everything! Humour, heart-wrenching stories and a true journey through time! Couldn’t put it down. Would definitely recommend it.

Found it hard to put down. As a retired officer, it brought back many memories as I knew some of the characters mentioned. It puts some of the problems of law and order into a proper perspective.
*
Bought this as a present for my mother who's a big fan of Paul Hurley's 'through time' books. Said she couldn't put the book down, a brilliant read. Highly recommended.
*
What an amazing book! I only got the book on Sunday and I’m almost at the end, I can’t put it down! Thank you xx

WAFFEN SS BRITAIN Now re-issued with a better cover as Britain Invaded, see on the left.
Here is the first review of it from Mr Col Casselden
If you haven't read this Book yet .. I can't recommend it enough!. I read it over 3 nights and was hooked from the start
It has everything ..a great story that, although fiction, could really have happened.
The attention to detail of the true facts re The German SS is amazing. The story is full of intrigue, which starts to unfold after the first Chapter and includes, Action, romance, heartbreak, violence, inhumanity, shocking horror, revenge and retribution, all made so believable by the writer, in a style that's easy to follow and has you gripped until the very end
It is available on the internet at the moment on Hardback £17.99, Paperback £11.99 and Kindle at £1.99.
It is now released as Britain Invaded.' A nightmare story of love and evil in Nazi Britain.
Hit the book cover to the left and you will be taken to the Amazon page.
The review from Louis Pickford
Paul, My best wishes to you and yours The Book was excellent. The Story, your characters a twist of the tale...really masterful and an enthralling read. I've spent a while in Bad Tölz and know it well, Gmund too on the beautiful Tegernsee. For the final curtain you chose Prague, we revisited the place only a couple of weeks ago. All in all fantastic, when is the sequel, when's it being filmed? The story was fully researched and my due respect that you got so much historical detail in there. May I recommend the book publicly? Thanks again Paul for a brilliant read.
Reviews on Amazon

It has already had some success having been shortlisted from 100 to 5 and then WON the Agents Pick of the month from the prestigious Andrew Lownie agency.
Out of the five shortlisted titles, I'm delighted to announce that your book Waffen SS Britain was selected by The Andrew Lownie Literary Agency as this month's winner of the Agent's Pick competition!
David Haviland, a literary agent at Andrew Lownie, has said "Waffen SS Britain is an interesting counterfactual novel, in a similar vein to Robert Harris's Fatherland. Although it's a premise that we've seen before, the author takes a thoughtful and considered approach that I really enjoyed."
