“I’m not much of a fan of writing teams, and I’m not convince to change my opinion with this husband and wife writing duo’s effort.
Irish serial killing murderer on the loose and a race against time to stop the macabre deaths.
Nothing wrong with it, just another average thriller but it did keep my attention.

Score 5/10

“My first translated novel from Argentina, his debut novel too.
Nothing complicated about this one, two street kids from the very rough end of the city get themselves mixed up in a drug landlords feud.
Vivid writing and urban language, I liked this one, a fast page turner.

Score 6.5/10

“The first in the DI Tom Thorne detective series.
I’ve read this for World Book Night, and handed it out around town.
Good London based thriller in which a killer is attempting to put women in to a coma state, mostly they die though. Why is he doing this and who is he? Enter Tom Thorne.
I’d probably read more of the series if I was into detective novels

Score 5/10

“Gritty and compelling London thriller.
Most of the time I wanted to stop reading this because it is violent and nasty, but he has created a true page turner.
Like a car crash I couldn’t turn away.
I don’t want to but I will read the next in the series when it comes.

Score 6.5/10
