Reviews

Patricia Nicol in the Sunday Times

  • Reset Your Health with Jamie Oliver (Audible) - “Oliver is such an effective communicator, who comes at these topics from an unintimidating everyman’s stance, but with access to leading experts. The advice here feels clear, doable, affordable and, crucially, sensible.”

James Marriott in the Times

★★★☆☆

Gerard O’Donovan in the Daily Telegraph

Lucy White in the Irish Independent

Irish Independent

  • The Walkers: The Real Salt Path (The Observer) - “Observer journalist Chloe  Hadjimatheou reported that Winn…had greatly exaggerated their backstory…Now there’s The Walkers: The Real Salt Path, Hadjimatheou’s “definitive wrap up” of her investigation.” 
  • Pride & Prejudice (Audible) - “A sumptuous retelling of Austen’s best-loved romp. If only a casting director had nabbed Buckley 15 years or so ago: she’d have made a sublime Lizzie Bennet.”
  • The Discovery Series: The Bog Bodies (Discoverireland) - “Discover Ireland’s first podcast might easily have played it safe and ticked off the island’s “hidden gems”. Wisely, it took the murder mystery approach”
