The author writes at a fast and furious pace which certainly keeps one interested. The plot is very far fetched and think would have been better without so much killing and I would have liked a little happier ending . Won't say much about that as I might spoil the story. Given all that I enjoyed it and will move on in this series for sure.

Loved it - abit far fetched, actually quite alot far fetched! But well written and Mr Oldham kept my attention til the end. Looking for the next in the series!

This is another brilliant novel in the Henry Christie series. I have read a lot of books by Nick Oldham and have greatly enjoyed all of them. He doesn't seem to be that well known as an author. I will certainly look out for all his other work.

I enjoyed this fast moving pacy thriller set in Blackpool a place I know very well. At times I followed the route in my head. Police corruption was to the fore in this book. There are one or two graphic sex scenes which could offend some. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Brilliant, I enjoyed the first in the series but this is even better. I cannot understand why this series and the author are not more popular! Will certainly read all the others in the series.

Love Nick Oldham.

Well written. A number of strands to the story which were brought together well. A cut above the usual thriller.

[JM · Rating 2 out of 5]

Like the last book that I read by Nick Oldham, this book is far fetched and features a lot of violence.

I had a hard time staying interested in this book. I persevered, but will not be reading any more books by this author.
