Thank you for an absolutely excellent story it kept me hooked from start to finish. Have you got another in the pipeline?
Paul, thank-you for a really wonderful novel.You know it’s a winner when you can’t put it down. It barely left my hands.I read it on my Kindle, I only wish it was twice as long, every character so vividly described it was though I was in the dining room at Litore every minute as the Danse unfolded. If you have a mailing list please add my e- mail to it as I would love to be informed as to when a second novel would be forthcoming.Thank -you for you talent Vic Favia
I very much enjoyed this book. Once you started it was hard to put down. All the characters personalities shown through. I have to admit I wished the old man faked his death and made an appearance at the end. I look forward to reading your next book.
Hi Paul,
Please get back to me if you are interested in taking The Philanthropist’s Danse to audiobook format. Note that we are not a fee-for-service provider.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Could not put it down!!!excellent book.would make great movie
OMG!! I loved this book! I’m 71, a retired French teacher, living in the mid-western part of the US. I could barely put this book down, even to go see the CEO of a nursing home to make sure our nursing home and home health care policies were up to snuff! Not only was the story fantastic, but I found very few grammar errors which is a plus for me. I will look for more books by you, and I’ll be glad to pay for them the next time. I’m grateful to my Kindle and BookBub, or I would never have found this book—or you!
Could NOT put it down! I put an excellent review on Amazon and can not wait to see this on Broadway as a play! I also can’t wait to read Mr. Wornham’s next book. Congrats on a great first book! It is on the top of my list as one of the best books I have ever read – EVER!
A great book. I couldn’t put it down. Hated to see it end. Look forward to the author’s next book.
The story line was great and kept me guessing until the end. Thank you very much for the enjoyment.
Great book! I really thought this was going to just be a time-waster that I would forget about when I was done. Boy was I wrong! I thouroghly enjoyed the entire book. I loved,and hated, the characters you have created. I look forward to more books from you in the future! I have to go to bed now, as I just stayed up half the night finishing this book!
What a great book! Not usually the type of story I read but amazon description caught my attention. Am I ever glad I read it. Maybe just me but would have loved an epilogue to see what became of Philip or if Freddie & Betty got together? I read before bed and had numerous dreams about the story. Thank you.
A great gathering of a diverse group of characters. I agree it would make an excellent movie. You did it all with out dropping to the level many feel they must do to keep the attentio of the readers. You were able to round out each character to such a degree I felt I had met some of them in my eighty years. I will be looking forward to other stories. thanks for a well told story.

Fantastic book. Cant wait for more! Thank you for the intertainment as well as a great look into human nature. The bok is the best I have read in a long time. Thanks.
I also just finished the book. I agree, it would make a great movie. Got it free on my new Kindle. Love that Kindle. Very interesting book.
I also got “The Philanthropist’s Danse” for free on my Kindle. As a fan of Agatha Christie, it sounded like a book I would enjoy. Enjoy is an understatement! The book was fantastic, well-written, and I finished it in 2 days. I also thought it would make for a great film and had fun “casting” the parts in my head. I look forward to any future books you write!
I just finished “The Philanthropist’s Danse”. Could have finished it sooner, but didn’t want to, so I only read a bit each day. I got it for “Free” on Amazon (Kindle). I haven’t read anything like it in a while. One night our power went out, and I used my clip-on light to read. My grown daughter is staying with me a while, and she urged me to read to her – she got so caught up in the characters, that she is determined to read it too. Thank you so much!!
Agree with the previous comments. I could hardly put the book down, and I think it would make a good movie. There were a few glitches that should have picked up in editing, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment.
Thanks everyone for the kind words, I’m very happy you enjoyed the book enough to say so.
What a fantastic first book. You brought the characters to life very well throughout. I too think it would make a great movie. I started this book on my Kindle as we left on our passage from Columbia to San Blas Panama. I was hard pressed to put it down when it was my turn for watch and found myself reading on my night watchs as well. I look forward to your next book.
This was definetly the best book I’ve read in awhile and I read lots while sailing.
Absolutely loved it. I read in one sitting!
So thank you for a lovely read.
I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed this story! When I first read the blurb on Amazon, I was expecting a fun story, but never expected to get so caught up in it. Well done! Look for my positive review on Amazon and Shelfari.
This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Often I will skim over parts of other books that are boring, sexual in nature, etc. (I’m not condemning sex scenes in books, I just find them boring-just so many ways to describe such things). But, this story I read word for word. It was captivating and made me wanting to know what was coming next. Excellent story line and characters kept me riveted to the very end. Hope you write more great stories.
never commented on a book before however i thought this warranted a comment absolutely brilliant well written excellent concept and so bloody true thanks
Agreeing with the above comments, your book is one of the best and couldn’t put it down. I look forward to more of your writings.
After many hours of reading this most enjoyable book.I have to say “BRAVO “I so enjoyed staying up finding myself unable to put your book down
Mr. Wornham, your book is one of the best I have ever read!! So clever and well thought out. I did not want this book to end. I hope you did very well with this and hope you have more. This book needs to be at the top of New York Times best seller list. I rate it right up there with Laura Hillebrands book “Unbroken”
A wonderfully entertaining book with well developed characters and story lines. I started it and stayed up all night reding through today. This is an author whose future books I will look for. A most enjoyable book
