REVIEW:
Crime novels are fast becoming a dime a dozen, so an author who is trying to establish themselves needs something different to not only set themselves apart or a gimmick that makes sure people review their work and gets their name known.
What unfurls within this debut is a crime thriller that is not only dark but one that has a killer that you’re never sure which way they’ll go. Back that up with a bitter divorced main character with a chip the size of Manhatten with a temper larger than an NYC cabby and you know it’s going to be explosive.
This offering is definitely different to a lot of books out there and whilst you may think that its over about half way through the author twists things so that you’re back to square one with time becoming a factor. Count down overload will hit the readers mentality and turn what you thought was a short read before bed into one that you’ll still be gripping the pages of as the dawn rises. A great book.
