As a long time, die hard fan of Matthew Reilly, I was naturally keen to read his new stand alone novel - The Secret Runners Of New York.
Although Matthew doesn’t regard it as a Young Adult novel himself, it does come across as a Young Adult read.
Having taken that on board, it is a well written, fast paced novel.
Whilst his Jack West Jr and Scarecrow enthusiastic fans may find it disappointing, I can assure you that there are plenty of gruesome deaths, nasty characters and a new female protagonist in Skye Rogers who gives as good as she gets. And, it is still a heart stopping read that will have your pulse racing with all the trademark Matthew Reilly twists and mayhem. I found myself throroughly engrossed in this, it is definitely an interesting read that will having you turning pages rapidly.
This is classic Matthew Reilly scales down so readers of all ages can enjoy it.
Loved it! 5 stars.
