Reader comments and reviews: |
Pat Tidy
I have read a number of your books and have enjoyed all of them. I really did enjoy "Devil's Prize". I love reading books about adventures at sea, especially stories about the early 19th century or earlier. "Tide of Fortune" was another good story. It is always interesting to read stories which include Falmouth. I love reading about what life was like years ago. Another good read was "Eye of the Wind". This was a really gripping story which I must read again sometime. |

"'Devil's Prize' is a devil of a good book! My only 'complaint' is that it didn't go on for much longer! Its wealth of fascinating historical detail, the absorbing story line and the vivid portrayal of the delightful characters and locations leave you wondering whether Jane Jackson is a reincarnation from the period." |

"Soft curves and secret hollows, highlights and shadows". Sheer poetry. 'Devil's Prize' is an absorbing tale of believable characters. The Cornish dialect added much to the atmosphere of the story. Well done, Jane. I loved it. |

"I love to read your books as it all happens in our lovely part of the County of Cornwall. The characters are wonderful and full of detail and there is always a twist to the story. But it is the first page - it gets you going from the start so you can never put it down until you have finished it. I have loved the first book to the most recent, 'Devil's Prize'. I cannot wait until the next book." |

"I particularly enjoyed 'Eye of the Wind' because of the local Cornish setting and the meticulous historical research which helped to make a very absorbing read!" |

"When reading a book or a play, there are two things I look for, storyline and depth of characterization. On reading 'The Chain Garden' I was taken by the various storylines of mother, father, mistress, daughter, sons etc, all interwoven into one interesting story. The characters were very well defined. I could picture them as I read even to the point at times of hearing their voices in my mind. This is the first of your books that I have read but it will not be the last." |

"Harlyn Tremayne was the first of your books that I read and I enjoyed the Cornish connection, the place names as well as the hero and heroine. 'The Chain Garden' was one of my favourite stories - you make the main characters so real and by the end you love them both! The smuggling story, 'Devil's Prize', had a very intriguing plot. Your research and imagination are to your credit." |

"I had not read a book for 11 years when I was given 'Eye of the Wind'. Once I started to read it I was hooked and could not put it down. Romance with twists and turns and remarkable attention to detail on historical facts including the clothes worn and herbal remedies used. My favourite book has been 'Dangerous Waters' and I'd love a sequel! |
