Brilliant read

This was such a brilliant read. It kept you hooked from start to finish, with really believable characters and a main character who you really cared about. Really hope there is a follow up. Well worth a read!!!

"I have plans for you."

My first book by Jane Casey, and I was riveted. Narrator Josh Richard was so convincing as Robert/Mark and performed the whole book with aplomb. The writing was good, the characters interesting, the whole a real page turning (audible) thriller.
As I understand it, this is a spin off from a series about one of the other characters who plays a minor part in The Outsider. But this book stands alone.

Highly recommended.

Quite enjoyable

I’m a fan of Jane Casey but I didn’t like this as much as her other books. I found the first half very slow and thought some of the actions the main character took were not very believable.

Start of a series?

Took a while to get into this story, but glad I stuck with it. Well narrated, and interesting plot. Will try another if one appears as part of a series..

Terrifyingly brilliant.

This story gripped me from the very beginning. I made sure to find time to listen wherever and whenever possible. The narration added to the suspense too. it was a lovely surprise to have Maeve and Derwent popping up too. Please keep these stories coming Jane. I'm looking forward to the next one.

so good

Jane Casey is such a good storyteller. I practically inhaled this. If you've not read/listened to the Maeve Kerrigan books, start with those. The only thing that bothered me ever so slightly, is the fact that Rob didn't have a northern accent. He's from Manchester, admittedly from money, but even so, he should have a northern twang.

Fantastic

Couldn’t put it down and hope there’s more to come. Loved hearing things from Rob’s perspective. Hope there’s more of the Maeve series to come too.
