I know this review won't be helpful to many of you fervent critics out there, because I like to keep them short and sweet. (I don't see the point in repeating the synopsis.) All I can say is read ALL the other reviews and take note! Seriously! This author is going places and should be a TOP household name at the very least. As the blurb inside the cover says: "It confirms RJE's place at the forefront of new thriller writing". Whilst it would be tempting to finish his books in a day, I actually take my time to relish the style and detail, deliberately stopping myself so I can look forward to another hour (or two) the following day. The best author out there currently. I've read all of RJE's books and they are all of the highest order. I think I've said it in each review on his books, but his dialogue is second to none, not to mention all the other qualities of the book. Again, take note. If you're not reading him, you're missing out.
