review 1: Usually these kind of books are right up my street. I’m a big fan of Peter James but I also like the more sort ‘ex-soldier turned crime fighting hero’ kind of books too, the sort Stephen Leather writes. So this should have been up my alley but I just wasn’t feeling it. I found it...

review 1: Entertaining for what it's worth, a fun summer read but ridden with so many cliches and plotholes that it's hard to take it seriously. Predictable although it tries to be twisty. Oh well, I happened to find it in the summer home we rented and finished it up quickly thanks to its ...

review 1: Very fond of Simon Kernick as a thriller/crime writer and this does not disappoint. Yes, it has to be said there is little in the way of deep character development but what this book lacks in deep intelligent literary thought it makes up for in the ferocious action that starts on...

review 1: Despite this being a short work, originally intended for publication in a magazine, I really enjoyed it. The plot was believable and the characters also came across as lifelike. Only two downsides for me, the ending was a bit predictable and I would have preferred this to have be...

review 1: I'm getting a bit cross now, this is the second "bed time reading" book that I've had to give up on for being rubbish.So what's wrong with this? Well, it's a bit Die Hard to start with - Die Hard with knobs on. The book opens with a brutal killing and does a lot of macho posturin...

review 1: Classed as a book in some places and a short story in others, you decide for yourself. Kernick wrote this as part of a promotion for BMW. I began to enjoy this story and then it stopped and I was left to wonder why I'd even picked it up in the first place, confirming why I don'...
