“First novel. A thriller set in Sussex. Lots and lots of short chapters.
Begins nicely with a serial killer running amok through a country village.
If it’s a page turner you are after this might do you well.I found it a bit thin and couldn’t see how this could happen.

Score 3.5/10

Date read June 2010

“An Easy Rawlings novel.
Its been some time since I last read one of these and its great to catch up with him.
Easy’s daughter is sick and he need cash quick. He makes a choice between doing a bank job with ‘Mouse’ or another job which could be equally dodgy. Good stuff.

“London based crime novel with lots of twists and turns
I’m getting the feeling that I can’t be bothered with this sort of novel, nothing wrong with it, but this didn’t inspire or engage me.
I listened to the audio edition and really liked Paul Thornley’s narration.

Score 5.5/10
