An engrossing and fast-paced intricately plotted thriller.
Liz Mistry - bestselling author of the DI Gus McGuire series
Regan is such a great character - the perfect blend of grit, tenacity and humour.
Roxy. This book three has heart and soul, bloodshed, and the dead bodies Regan hates. To say this book has ALL the reasons we read this genre is an understatement And spending days and nights with Regan Carter is a whole other reality you don't want to miss '"
Alex. More breath holding for me as I read on, enthralled, as loose ends started to be joined up.
Patti. Andrew Barrett does it again. I can always expect surprises when I read one of his books.
Fritzi. This is truly a superb story. One of my faves, if not my fave. I have been sitting on the last few chapters reluctant to read them because then the story would be over.
Ron. An explosive story with brilliant character development, quality twists and turns, and humour and excitement.
Martin. The narrative transforms into an unstoppable locomotive of tension and suspense.
Lee. Gosh, this really ripped my heart out, scenes are presented to us that are so emotionally draining they absolutely took my breath away. A gripping tale full of despicable characters.
Anne. The author's writing is excellent, the story flows easily and has a very good and well thought out plot line. Full of tension and suspense with many thrilling moments a very, very compelling read.
Maureen. Andrew has a real talent for creating such amazing characters. I loved this book, the sadness, the grittiness, the dysfunction of Regan's life. A brilliant read.
Diane. Oh my goodness This book is rich, dark and deeply delicious.
Gaynor. Hideous characters you really, really wouldn't want to meet on a dark night, gripping storytelling, unputdownable. Loved it
Chris. You know you're reading a good book when you go to bed at 10pm to read for an hour, and then it's 2:35am and you have to get up early.
Steve. The writing is Barrett's usual smart, taut, and engaging mix.
