    I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all your books. You are definitely my favorite psychological thriller author. I listen to the audiobooks and want to compliment you on the readers you have chosen. They make such a difference for me.

    I wish that the audiobooks would become available to readers in the US as soon as they are in other areas.

    Loved Lying Beside You and can’t wait for your next book!

    I am so happy to say that from the time I read the first book written by Michael Robotham he has been a favorite author of mine! I read the first book in the Joseph O’Loughlin series and noticed there was an email address to contact the writer and I did to tell him what a splendid author he was & I sent it to encourage him! I cannot tell you how shocked I was to actually receive a reply from Michael Robotham himself! However after 19 years I have not tried to contact him again but I’m so proud of the work that he has produced and the books that I have spent many hours enjoying at the age of 75! I was wondering, if you read these comments Mr. Robotham, do you have any intentions of continuing your first series? I loved O’Loughlin. I live in the United States. God bless you!

      I too hope that this author continues writing his excellent books. I am catching up because I only just became aware thanks to one good use of Social Media. I am same generation as you and love a good mystery.
      Best wishes and thanks for writing your comment and expressing appreciation of the series I will start next.
