I read this while on holiday and absolutely loved it. It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a proper crime thriller, and it reminded me why I enjoy the genre so much. A smart plot, believable characters and plenty of twists kept me turning the pages right to the end. The writing is confident and visual — you can picture it playing out like a TV drama. If you enjoy clever, pacey crime fiction, this one’s well worth your time.

Demanding but well worth it. The reader needs to be on top form in order to absorb fully the multiple characters so brilliantly brought to life in this excellent novel. The plot and sub plots are put together superbly and create a fascinating read. The unexpected direction changes were very stimulating and it was a real pleasure to enjoy every page of this super story.
