Another excellent book by John Marrs.

Really enjoyed the references to another of his book as well in there. (Don’t worry! You don’t have to have read the other books to understand!)


This book was such a quick read because the plot moved so quickly! It was so so hard to put down as every chapter finished with a game changing moment in the narrative!! I loved the premise of this book and it’s very clearly well thought out! I’m a big big fan of this one!

4.5 stars! WHAT A BOOK. Goodness, I’m not even sure what to say. It’s everything you want from a psychological thriller. Amazing pace first of all, it kept my eyes and brain moving and I could not stop reading.

It’s a book that not only shows the ugly side of technology but also the unsettling ugly side of humans. I cared and hated some characters in a good way because of John Marrs’s clever way of developing these characters.

I say this is worth the read!

Very interesting premise... but after a promising start it seemed to really go off the rails, with each twist making it more bizarre and nonsensical.

Good listen for a rainy afternoon with a puzzle.

A really good story and gripping thriller - I’d probably give 3.5 if I could as I did think the writing let it down a bit with too many additional plots at the end, I didn’t think it needed those extra story lines.
