CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BODY SNATCHER

Kirkus Reviews, March, 2007

"Set in London in 1830 where the selling of human corpses to those in science has become a lucrative business, twelve-year-old Victor is aware that his body would fetch a good price and so must watch out for those who mean to do him harm while working to put a stop to their evil ways.

"(For) audiences that relish historical fiction...(Sandom) pits an orphaned beggar lad with a shattered leg and some martial-arts training against a pair of genial body snatchers in the employ of a prominent doctor who likes to molest girls and infect kidnapped children with cholera in the name of scientific discovery....(A) lurid stomach-churner... strewn with corpses and gruesome relics."

REVIEWS (Excerpted in February)

GOSPEL TRUTHS -- Editorial Reviews

BookReporter.com, February 2007
"Based on a true incident, GOSPEL TRUTHS was first published in 1992 and is facing the prospect of a second successful run in light of the resurgence in popularity of religious thrillers. Sandom's novel, however, is no way typical of the current spate of Da Vinci wannabes; his is an outstanding accomplishment -- a beautifully written, intelligent, complex suspense novel. The plot and its various subplots hold together throughout, and the characters remain believable from start to finish -- a remarkable achievement considering the scope of Sandom's effort. Highly recommended."

THE UNRESOLVED -- Editorial Reviews

Jen Robinson's Book Page, February 2007
"This book is a haunting chronicle of the ways things can go wrong, one decision at a time, and the way people hide from the truth, and lie to protect themselves...I found the story riveting, and read it in a single sitting. I recommend it for fans of historical fiction, especially mysteries, and fans of ghost stories."
