A review by tdavies1977
29 Seconds by T.M. Logan
3.0
I have never come across an author who I find so inconsistent, or should I say, my reactions to his books are so inconsistent. This is my third read by Logan: I gave ‘Trust Me’ 2 ⭐️, ‘The Catch’ 4 ⭐️ and now this one sits in the middle, closer to the former than the latter unfortunately.
I felt this book had a really interesting plot, but was slow to pick up pace. The sleazebag professor was almost comical - who uses lines like “It’s wet isn’t it?…Your sex.” I was literally cringing.
Once the main point of the story kicked in it became incredibly far-fetched, quite nonsensical really. The whole Russian crimelord angle was bonkers, but got even more farcical when it went wrong…wowsers, Russian crimelord fails in his mission, but the university lecturer gets the best of the sleazebag…hmmm.
Oh and in Chapter 43, she breathed ‘…in through the mouth, out through the nose’ - try it, it’s definitely meant to be the other way around
