“Rebus is a top British detective in the way Poirot was in his day.
It’s Rebus that made this book, the story was good too but I struggled to feel the ending would satisfy avid crime readers

“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

“Thriller or Chiller: Both!
One of my favorite authors who always delivers something good and something different.
This novel has an excellent voice in the character Hesketh Lock, a global trouble shooter who has a form of Asperger’s syndrome. This provides some great stuff and I’d like it if he reappeared in another novel. Colin Mace who narrates this audiobook edition does a perfect job, one of my favorite narrators too.
Plot summary is kids start a mysterious and cataclysmic world state, sounds unlikely but she pulls it off
