I’ve read several books from p t Saunders. This one is slightly different to the others as it’s fiction but also if you’ve read other books from this author then you can tell where he’s pulled facts into the story and drawn from his own experience. It’s a story that grips you, an amazing physiological thriller that leaves you wanting more and finishes on a cliff hanger. I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens. It would make an amazing film. A truly brilliant author
