This is my second Paris book and I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a genuine thriller with lots of suspense, twists, dilemmas and dark psychology.
The cast of characters is small and we have two opposite points of view throughout which both increase the intensity. The settings are a contrast to the plot. Leafy Cheltenham and surrounding rural villages are jarring. They offer a welcome discomfort that suits and adds to the plot.
I couldn't read it quickly enough, I was kept guessing and there were surprises right up to the very end.
