This pacey thriller hooked me on page one. It’s a breakneck speed read with more twists and turns than the final of Strictly Come Dancing. Decent, law abiding John Merron receives a phone call from a friend, screaming for help. The last words he hears are his home address. He scoops up his children and runs from the house not knowing that within minutes he will be hurtled into a world of violence. He will be very lucky to escape with his life…and where is his wife? This book should come with a health warning. Pick up this book late at night and sleep becomes unimportant. I stayed awake until 3 am to finish it and could not put it down. Even if George Clooney had been giving me a foot massage I probably wouldn’t have noticed ! This would be an exciting distraction from Christmas preparations. I am definitely asking Santa for Simon Kendrick’s other books.
