review 1: I really found this an enjoyable thriller that kept me engaged almost from the start. A civil servant discovers her minister dead at his desk and a reporter is intrigued by what his colleague might have been working on before he met with an accident - will their paths cross? Obviously the answer is yes but in a well worked and satisfying way. The characters worked well for me and the pace was very good indeed. I found the last 30% of so quite hard to put down. Maybe not the most challenging read but I mean that in a nice way - definitely a satisfying thriller and I'll read more of Eva Hudson's work as soon as I can, I've read charting thrillers that were not as good as this.
review 2: The Loyal Servant is a fast-paced, political paranoia thriller. There is... more a lot of plot (handled well except towards the end when things felt rushed) and a lot of characters. I did have problems with some of the characters. For example, Angela, the anything for the story newspaper reporter, is initially very unpleasant and never becomes likeable despite her role in the story. And the mother of titular character Caroline seems to be dramatically pointless (and irritating!). My problems with a few characters aside, I did find this book an engaging. fast read. less
