This is what was said about Wolves in Dogs' Clothing: Doug Davidson in the RIVERCITY PRESS - Wanagnuyi, New Zealand (23 Novemebr 2017) The novel is set in Cyprus during the coup and the Turkish invasion in 1974 and the major plot based on a series of brutal murders is supported by a number of equally intriguing sub plots .... the writing style is a combination thriller and interesting snippets about history, politics, society and mythology. It is a style that I appreciate. I learn while I am kept enthralled by the action. ... the Turkish invasion, which Chris although from a Greek background, writes about with admirable balance, and gives another depth to the novel. Chris ... writes with an assuredness of someone who is in control of his craft ...The novel is over 400 pages and generally, I prefer shorter novels but I read "Wolves in Dogs' Clothing" over a couple of evenings, such was my interest. The layout of the pages with paragraph gaps and larger margins is a distinct plus. It would make a well-received present for any book reader. Michael Sharkey. Australian Poet and Literary Editor: "The history, cultural details, language and pace make a splendid moving narrative." Kevin ireland, New Zealand poet and recipient of the NZ Prime Ministers Literary Award. "A remarkable, eloquent and passionate description of lives and hopes and endeavours. And it is testimony to ever-broadening range of our literature."
