The House With Two Letterboxes cover

Set in the North East of England, these are dark, dangerous and witty tales of a close-knit community. Here, neighbours have sharp tongues, suspicious minds and hidden talents. This a place where money doesn't grow on trees - but kindness can still come from unexpected quarters...

No matter their gender, the voices of Swinney’s characters are captured with a fine ear, alert to the comic, whether intentional or not, of Viz at its richest and best. If her dialogue has the feel of conversations eavesdropped, then her prose has the knack of crocheting complexity with apparent simplicity, line by line, until the reader is able to see the fully worked intricacy of the pattern. It’s a collection whose many seams are as abundant with gold as they are of coal.; By Desmond Bullen, Northern Soul
