Why Over-50s Love This Page-Turning Romance

“Oh my goodness, it's a tour de force, it's huge ...and it's great!!🎶 👍 🎵 👍” P.D.
“I tried a musical novel hybrid with my own #Zero, which I spotted in a charity shop today & note has (checks stats) 1 monthly listener on Spotify. Better luck to the talented @gethynjonesuk with his bold take on an underpopulated genre. Check it (Fatal Equation) out.” Neil McCormick, Daily Telegraph.
“An intertwining tale of a love that doesn't conform to society's self-limiting rules, shot through with a fine understanding of the often unspoken side of life's relationships. Add in tales of the music business and some unhinged family members and you have a love story which is just so much more than most in this genre. A very entertaining and well characterised book which had me guessing until the end.” Richard
“I absolutely love this book. It has everything you could possibly wish for ... can't wait for the next one! Thank you Gethyn Jones.” D.H.
“Why is this book hidden away? Much More Than A Romance. An enjoyable, good read with many twists and turns. It's a romance which could seem doomed, but also covers many contemporary themes while bringing the music business and a small town to life.” Pam

Paperback, eBook and Audiobook
A feel-good romance with a dark edge. A love story set to music, with a past that won't stay buried.
Laura O'Brien, a wealthy widow in her fifties, didn't expect to fall in love again - especially not with a 35-year-old British-Asian songwriter. But when she meets Ali Kurmi, a corporate DJ with his own deeply troubled past, everything changes.
Together, they start to build a life filled with creativity, passion, and purpose. Yet danger still lurks in the shadows - Stephanie, Laura's scheming stepdaughter, wants blood. Fuelled by greed and resentment, she's plotting something deadly ... and this time, failure isn't an option.
Set between Hampshire and Tipperary, Fatal Equation is an emotional rollercoaster of love, music, obsession, and redemption - a gripping romantic suspense that blends the warmth of Virgin River with the menace of The Split. Featuring a colourful cast of friends and a soundtrack that brings the story to life, this is a novel for readers who love second chances, found family, and stories that surprise you.

“I could certainly get used to living the lifestyle of the super rich, but dealing with the fallout from contentious bequests and grasping beneficiaries, I don't know whether they'll all make it out alive! Highly recommended as an enjoyable, absorbing read. ” S Archibald
“This has the making of a great TV drama and the surprise inclusion of six superb musical tracks by musicians collectively called CoolStar make this a good story to read. All good luck with it.” J. Cross
“This book is a lovely story incorporating many different facets of life. It shows the wonderful characteristics of some people and the truly appalling characteristics of others. In the end goodness prevails but there are many tangled threads along the way. And I love the accompanying music.” Janiemac
