I really liked the way Harries blended real people and fiction in order to create a unique story that makes you want to believe in the events he’s created.
*IndieReader Approved. Jonathan Harries' inventive novel THE TAILOR OF RIGA takes shape as a fictional family memoir, blending fiction and history with patently made-up tales of intrigue and assassination that afford fresh perspectives on world-historical events.
A fast, fulfilling read with plenty of twists.

Harries is a fantastic writer, one of the few nowadays who truly writes to entertain. Sure he has a message. But what writer worth the ink doesn’t?

Reading for a second time about a cast of characters whose prowesses and wit transported the reader to an alternate literary universe is one of the most satisfying experiences. When Jonathan Harries is the author, it’s as comfortable as the second time you call on a friendly home, as the song says.
The Roger Storm Books, of which Killing Harry Bones is the first, tackle the horrors of poaching, animal trafficking, and the questionable morality of big game hunters. Whether it’s taking on a sinister organization trying to re-colonize parts of Africa, Laotian animal traffickers blind to the misery of their trade or Russian oligarchs using genetic modification to make animals more attractive to trophy hunters, Roger, and his friends do their best to ensure the animals get their revenge.

In true Jonathan Harries writing style, this novel was another homerun. The characters were great and well developed, while the plot moved along at a fast pace. I loved how information was listed at the beginning of each chapter too. There was a mystery, adventure, humor, history, and a creative edge only this author can accomplish!
What we have here are master conmen conning other conmen. There is espionage, double agents, and mercenaries working for the highest bidder.
The book caught my attention from the first page and had me reading until I was finished.
Harries, a retired leader at a global ad company, shows an obvious passion and knowledge of Africa in this well-written series opener.
