If you can manage to get through the first stomach turning chapter of this novel, you’ll then find it difficult to put down.

James Hazel’s legal experience gives authenticity to an uncomfortable novel, with a plot which races along changing direction and time, but is still easy to follow.

No-one is whom they seem to be, I mistrusted most characters, except the likeable Charlie Priest. He is a very appealing ‘hero’, and not too intense. In contrast, I feel that I never really got to know Jessica, I am not sure if that is intentional, or because she was written by a male author, who couldn’t quite get under her skin, which resulted in me not being interested in her role in the story.

The outcome of the novel is both thought provoking and horrifying.
As to the cover, it made me shudder- but that’s a success in itself, as it made me react.
