Action and thrills in advertising? Oh yes, definitely yes

Picked this book at random, so glad I did. Gripping thriller, and so many secrets, who can be trusted? Read on for explosive events

[Graham Tallents · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very intriguing, but totally believable, thriller about the lengths to which chemical/pharmaceutical giants will go in order to cover up devastating side effects of their products. Well worth the read.

Different

But good! Some times the good guy wins. Very interesting and integrate story. The end gets very dramatic and quite messy.

Decent

Slow to start but does improve and then turns into a good read.
Ending was pretty good and not totally expected
