Nick Wilkshire is a lawyer originally from St. John’s, Newfoundland. He is a graduate of Memorial University and Osgoode Hall Law School. Escape to Havana is the first book in his new series featuring fledgling diplomat Charlie Hillier. Nick lives in Ottawa.
A bit of romance, a bit of gentle humor, several bits of official
corruption and drug-related violence, and a chance for the
mild-mannered hero to rise to an impossible challenge.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Readers who stay the course, whether drawn by curiosity or
Wilkshire’s masterful prose and sly humor, will get their
reward.
*Booklist*
A highly entertaining, fast-paced mystery.
*Publishers Weekly*
There is a kind of wry humour to Escape to Havana, as the bumbling
protagonist succeeds and in the process becomes the hero of his own
story.
*reviewingtheevidence.com*
The humour and watching a Canadian in Cuba is the real gem of the
book.
*The Book Trail*
Wilkshire may be among Canada’s most humorous writers.
*The Sun Times*
Escape to Havana is a likeable page-turning cocktail of drugs,
geopolitics, greed, (some) sex and murder in a diplomatic pouch
full of all the ingredients of what is to become a popular
series.
*Bynoe on Arts*
If you thought diplomacy was all play and no work, this book will
confirm those opinions. It’s not the image Foreign Affairs aspires
to perpetuate, but it’s plenty of lightweight fun.
*Ottawa Magazine*
Escape to Havana is immensely readable and great fun.
*Deadly Diversions*
A fast-paced, entertaining, and cautionary tale about the glamorous
life of the diplomatic set, peopled with believable toughs and an
engaging protagonist
*Ottawa Review of Books*
