Audiobook review.
I totally have to gush about this book for a second. It is tense, smart, and surprising, with amazing characters and lots of action. I loved it! Kudos to the author for narrating the book so well.

Great read in part 2 of Peter McAdam detective series
Another great read from David Cameron. Always in the thick of the action, McAdam and his colleagues confront devious characters in a relevant and disturbing tale of modern evil. Well constructed twists and turns. I found I had to concentrate as the intertwined stories of the "author" ( not David C) struggling with his own life to continue the McAdam writings, could be a challenge, but in a very innovative way. I look forward to the third part of this enthralling series. Well done again David.
