But is anything as it seems? Early reviews from Advanced Reader Copies of Alchemy 2: "When is a book great? When the sequel is not only as good as but better than the first This is now well in contention to be in my Top Ten reads of 2015. I really loved the first book but always lower expectations a bit for a sequel, I should not have worried, Chris James gave me so much more than I could have hoped for. I am literally desperate now to read book three in this great series." - Maxine - Booklover Catlady - Amazon Top Reviewer "Chris James has done it again And this book is even better than his first. I did not want it to end. I saved it like a treat, a reward to look forward to. I enjoyed every word. This book is a masterpiece, spanning so much history as well as telling a great story. This author rivals C.J. Sansom for history and Alexandre Dumas for pace and adventure. I loved so many things about this book, but one of my favourites is Arthur Conan Doyle making an appearance and also deducing Sherlock Holmes style. - Renita D'Silva, TopSelling Author - "A Sister's Promise" "The author, once again, weaves real people into the wonderful fiction he is creating - I especially loved the cameo by Conan Doyle There are parts of this book that, at first glance, seem familiar to the incidents depicted within the first book but as you read on, the author has very cleverly twisted things again - more smoke and mirrors." - Kath, Amazon Book Reviewer.

When the sequel is not only as good as but better than the first " "In my review for the first book, I said that it was the book that "blew me out of the water" this year. Well, if the first did that then I am at loss for the words I need to describe this sequel. To say it eclipsed the first is definitely a gross understatement." "I really enjoyed the author's debut novel, and this one is another cracker. Chris James writes highly original dark and mysterious thrillers that are wonderfully well crafted and different to anything else I've read. No spoilers here, just a strong recommendation to buy and read this excellent novel just as soon as it's available." "Alchemy: turning Silver to Gold is not only better than the first one it is darker and more disturbing if that is even possible. It is ideal for anyone who loves a good horror/crime novel"
