“First time I’ve read RF and mighty impressed.
He is a writer who’s style is rhythmic and a pleasure to read.
This is not plot driven although there is one which follows our protagonists journey beginning with the bank robbery carried out by his parents.
You should read this, I’ll read more by him. Our book group was keen too and gave it 7.7/10

Score 8/10

“First in a new series of spy thrillers.
I met this author and introduced him to a group, he is a very nice chap and talented as a writer. He described a very cunning escape scene from his latest novel.
This first one introduces us to Daniel Marchant, M15 and on the run, literally. It all kicks off with a suicide bomber in the London marathon.
Certainly a page turner with plenty of twists.
Holidays will fly by and this for me is ideal novel for that purpose.

“An interesting book which rips into middle class and middle England.
Girls can be self centred and cruel, this story is how one might make amends.
I met the author and she is thoughtful and serious about her writing
