“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

“First time I’ve read TH and had high hopes.
He is literary and his writing good, I enjoyed some of his turn of phrases.
The story didn’t hang together and felt disjointed…I couldn’t keep track of the characters, Oh and it has a weak ending.

Score 3/10

“Ok so it won the Booker and is a number one best seller.
This epic historical novel from middle ages centres around Thomas Cromwell, he works his way up the ranks and into power.
I gave up on page 100…enough for me, I don’t have the historical knowledge or have the desire either to connect with this book.
