Reviews

[Baba · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oz Blackstone book No. 7: In this episode Oz's wife's business is targeted by a number of forces that are stepping over the lines of what is moral or even legal. A pretty gripping thriller sees the Oz pushed to the edge. I like this series, despite reading the books at about the rate of about one every five years! 7 out of 12

Interesting read.

Oz is turning out to be a much nicer person than he was in the previous books, I was beginning to dislike him.

The story of Oz's father who gets taken by a scam on the internet and is blackmailed for logging onto sex sites.

Oz comes in to save the day.
