This section of my website is devoted to customer reviews of The Case of Barry George. For media reviews and comments please visit the 'What The Media Has Said' section of this website

As reviews of my book are made, I will include them on this section of the website.

If you would like to make comments about my book then feel free to do so. I enjoy hearing from those who read my work.

Here are some customer reviews. I can send more on request. They are genuine but to respect privacy I have just used initials unless I have permission to use their full name. I occasionally receive intimidating and abusive messages and I would not like to have those who have made comments about my work to recive such messages. Therefore to minimise the likelihood of any abuse I have not included the full name.

M Kinnear from Scotland: 'What can be more worth while than a book written to save a life? Hopefully as more people read this compelling insight into a horrendous miscarriage of justice there will be a public outcry. This book is a MUST READ for anyone interested in our right to a fair and honest judicial system. I can't believe such a high profile case has been handled so badly and that (as this book proves) Jill Dando's murder has gone unpunished. Full marks to S.C Lomax for a fantastic book that is well written and (unlike the police investigation) leaves no stone unturned.'

Mrs M.F., Wiltshire: 'Yes, your book is very good and long may you continue to write good books and best sellers in the future.'

C.A.: 'I have read "The Case of Barry George" and just want to say thank you for a fascinating book. The case is very interesting and I believe after reading the book that Barry George must be innocent, it is very hard to fit the case to his personality. It does seem to be a miscarriage of justice.'

Mr I.P., Derbyshire: 'I thought the book was well written, i.e. very informative. The format was clinical in a research way.'

David: 'I've just read the book "The Case of Barry George". I'm struggling to understand how he could have been found guilty. He had an alibi for one. This was backed up by someone else. And also the 2 main witnesses (Hughes and Upfill- Brown), who definitely saw the killer, failed to pick him out in any identity parades. Why weren't they used in his defence? If both of them say in court the person seen at Dando's gate wasn't George then the case would have been thrown out. I can't understand why this didn't happen. [Note from S.C. Lomax – they were used by the defence, although they were called as prosecution witnesses, but it was the prosecution’s argument that after two years had elapsed they could be forgiven for not recognising Barry George despite Geoffrey Upfill-Brown having studied the gunman in anticipation of having to identify him later. He did not know of the time that the man had just committed a crime but his behaviour cast suspicion.] Great book by the way!'

Ms J.O., Derbyshire: 'I do believe very strongly it is a miscarriage of justice. I do think it is someone who had been stalking Jill Dando. Barry George did not have the brains to do this crime. None of the witnesses were reliable. The book provides facts. Barry George did not murder Jill Dando. Justice will prevail.'

A journalist for a national newspaper made the following comment after reading my book: 'I think the case you make for Barry George is compelling and an extraordinarily competent piece of work from someone of your age.'

The book does have the approval of Barry George and the backing of the Justice For Barry (JFB) campaign, which supports George in his struggle against his conviction. The campaign (which has a website listed in the links section of this site) believes my book will keep the story alive and will help inform people of the facts.
