I received a copy of this book from the author and I am so thrilled that I did as I loved it. I read it commuting to work and I nearly missed my stop a couple of times! It does everything a thriller is supposed to do (and yes it does contain all the usual cliches) but it works brilliantly. Its pace is particular is wonderful with short chapters so that you always feel the story is moving. The writing style is fantastic and in particular its descriptive elements make you feel you are truly witnessing this unfolding story which the less you know about before you start reading the better (there is enough in the description on this site). All you need to know at the outset is if you love thrillers then this is the one for you and I highly recommend you read it.
