Although I cannot be regarded as being an avid reader, I found “The Apprentice Highwayman” thoroughly enjoyable from cover to cover. It was so gripping, I read it at one sitting. Really! I could not put it down. Clearly well researched, I could easily see this as an idea that could be made into a TV series.
