What readers are saying

What a great book. 'It hooked me immediately and I did not want to put it down. I found myself leaving the phone ringing and letting the children have 'just 5 minutes more in front of the tv'. I really enjoyed and would recommend it.' J L Edwards

Fast paced thriller Short, punchy chapters which kept me wanting to know more...well researched and well written, with a particularly interesting main character. This book kept me guessing... I was unsure which of the characters I trusted, and was surprised at how the story ended....and books are always best when you don't see things coming! Dawn

I simply whizzed through this book. No mean feat considering I read a paperback copy and I mostly read electronically these days. The book contains short punchy chapters that keep the story moving along at quite a high pace. Combine this with a plot line that held my attention and kept me on my toes throughout, played out by well crafted, easy to connect with characters and you get yourself a very readable book. Ashrae

Exciting readThis book just kept me turning the pages, something happened in every chapter. A complete page turner. TerryHeth
