This story is delivered well, with believable people saying believable dialogue in increasingly uncomfortable and bizarre situations. I really warmed to Tom, Lila and Pirate John and felt like booing the nasty baddies. I was gripped by the plot and made some correct predictions but other parts I was completely blind-sided by. Which is exactly what you want from a thriller delivering action, mystery and danger.
Once I'd started I found this book difficult to set down. Now I've finished I'd like to see Tom and Lila continue with further adventures. Martyn Waites has developed ingenious back stories and intricate psychology for both characters, which I hope provides just the start of my enjoyment of them.
