A breakneck thriller filled with non-stop suspense, perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, Mark Dawson and Terry Hayes’ I Am Pilgrim.

‘This was an absolute belter of a book!’

Wow! Can absolutely see this book being made into a film. . . The whole book pulled me in straight away and I couldn't put it down. Full of twists from start to finish, twists that I never saw coming!’

‘Had me gripped . . . I couldn't breathe until I finished it

‘This is one of the most original stories I've read for a while. Just read it! You won't regret it.’

‘What an utterly terrifying thriller this was! It doesn’t get scarier than this…’

‘Horrifyingly credible . . . This is a fast-paced, menacing and dark read. Grips from the off and doesn’t let go until that very last page.’

‘This book was chilling and tense and will have you on the edge of your seat.’

‘Unique, cinematic and fast-paced. Unputdownable and thrilling page-turner. Highly recommended.’

‘I love a story that is a bit different and unique and this certainly was. A thought provoking story that chilled me to the bone . . . Will have you up all night. Such a cleverly written story

‘Fast-paced, tense, atmospheric and so full of suspense . . . I didn’t know what to expect when. I couldn’t put this book down it was completely gripping.’

‘From the first few pages the adrenaline rush never lets up.’

I absolutely LOVED this, shocking twist, brilliant

This was a hard book to get into at first as there are many characters involved in the story and each and every one is introduced along the way as you'd expect, but oh my goodness, when everything kicks into gear it really lets rip and there's a really stonking twist which left me shell shocked. I really loved this book and will definitely look to try more by Scott Kershaw in the future.

The narrator was great too, But one .com reviewer did not like his attempts at American accents and if you happen to be from Minnesota you might agree, or from New York in fact, but it's a British book, narrated by a British narrator and I think he does a fabulous job, the only way to improve on this would have been a full cast to play the individual characters which not everyone likes anyway.

best book ever

This was a face paced book from the first page to the last. The detailed back story of every character was perfect. This is now my favourite book of all time. I need a movie adaption and one that does this book justice.

Ending fizzled out

Last part of the story was unfortunately anticlimactic.

Narration was good though.

I wouldn’t recommend.
