Reviews

“Just finished reading your second book An Unfolding Soul which I have enjoyed as much as your first. As a Bathonian of 77 years I find it so scary and truthful as we currently experience The Third Destruction of Bath.”

Malcolm Mitchell

“Westcott has done it again, masterfully capturing the essence of magnificent Bath”

Jenny Lippett

‘Another enthralling chapter in this tale of Bath, during a period of dramatic change and development.’

Roger Palmer

“A young man buffeted by world events is left reeling, but survives to build his own empire in Bath. The ancient city has seen it all and has her own cards to play...  Douglas Westcott writes from experience of the chaos of history, business, and wild passions in this gripping trilogy.”
