Maltese author James Vella-Bardon’s debut novel The Sheriff’s Catch was named “must-read of the week” in The Scotsman last month.
Columnist Gwyneth Rees described Vella-Bardon’s debut, recently re-released by his new publisher Tearaway Press, as containing “sparkling language and lucid descriptions”, while hailing its author as a “prodigious literary talent” who “has what it takes to become a literary giant”.
