Gripping
Don't normally read British thrillers, i find them a bit dull, but this one is so fast paced I couldn't stop reading. Great characters, good plot and a great twist at the end. More please!!
Dark Times
I enjoyed the content of the book. Very well put together, quite amusing in parts. However, despite being written in pretty good, grammatical, English, the book was laced through with very annoying American style words. Purchased (bought), exited, departed (left), gotten ( surely the worst word ever written), autopsy (post mortem), elevator ;word used by an old man ( lift), , hung herself ( hanged). If a storyline is based in England, can it please be written in English.
Awful
Didn’t even make it half way through, couldn’t bear to read any more, just kept getting worse and worse.
