is an assured start to Booker's projected series. More, please.

· The tension was palpable. It was contemporary, well plotted and
the main character, Morgan Vine was real, flawed and vulnerable as
we all are, but tenacious too and all the more a heroine to me,
because of it

Booker has written many TV crime dramas, so it's no surprise that
his debut thriller is highly accomplished

Booker is adept at cliff-hangers and some crafty misdirection. And
he produces with a flourish one heck of a twist - no, make that a
triple twist with three and a half loops - at the end

A fast-paced story with plenty of small twists and a satisfying
ending. The last thirty pages where unputdownable and Simon Booker
clearly knows how to write a gripping thriller that keeps us
completely hooked
