The end felt a bit meh and the plot holes are huge, but for the most part I was very entertained and intrigued. Worth it.

I have never read a 400+ page book so quickly. I started yesterday morning and have finished it in under 24 hours. This seems. appropriate for this book which takes place in the same timescale.
A rollercoaster of a ride. A man running for his life and the safety of his family.

I found it quite strange. I didn't understand a lot of what was happening. It was ok to read but I wouldn't read it again.

When I received this book from my librarian teacher as a gift. The first thought that came to me when I looked at this book was, that it would be a really crime-hyped thriller book.
Here the question rises " BUT"?
But it was not the way I expected it to be. For more than a year now, every time I hold this book read a page or two and then leave it in its place. Why you may ask? Because the excitement I felt at first lead me to hold it and read it, but after that when I started to turn pages one by one, the excitement slowly started to vanish within me.
The style of writing and the concept itself were great ones I will give that a 5/5.
But the development of the characters and the way the story went on, I guess it was not to my taste.
Even though I love crime and thriller novels to read, this was slow and not how I expected it to be. Still, there were times when the emotion of what is going to happen next rises within, and at the end, I finished reading the book.
I would recommend it to those who do like to read such a style and development novel.

I really enjoyed this book with it's fast pace, the "everyday man", the evil villian etc. I like the way it was told from two different points of view, the victim and the cop.
Another excellent job of narration by Paul Thornley.

Not a bad story, but the characters weren't very engaging and didn't make me desperate to know what happened to them. No late nights because I just couldn't put the book down.

This is the first crime/thriller and fast-paced action book I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. It’s different and edgy, and you find yourself turning the pages as fast as possible as you follow one man’s fight for the truth to save his family. It’s gripping with complex characters, and visually immersive. Looking forward to reading another of his books soon. (Shoutout to my mom for recommending this!)
