It is well written, easy to read and fast paced. It is a gripping story, from the first page until the very end when its explodes into your hand. Recommended.

This book was a slow starter and I didnt really think it got much quicker,interesting char aters but just not enough whooomph for me

standstill by Ja Marley.
Danny Felix is a thief.
Detective inspector harkness offers him a deal. a robbery of a lifetime. can he do it and get away?
a fantastic read. Loved Danny. didn't like harkness at all. I had my own theory how this would end. I loved the ending too. 5*.

What a great read. This has you gripped right from the start.

Danny is your loveable rogue who is a very talented thief. Despite the best efforts of the police he just always gets away with his crimes, he is one very intelligent thief who has a plan for everything. Unfortunately for Danny a cop by the name of Harkness has noticed this and decides that Danny is the ideal candidate to pull off a large robbery. Harkness is one terrifying character that you don’t want to mess with, there is definitely an air of insanity about him.

We then have the good cop, Chance, who as well as dealing with the criminals of London she is also dealing with her daughters terminal illness. Will she be able to work out what Danny and Harkness are up to ?

This is a true crime thriller which is non stop from start to finish. The characters are brilliant, whether you love them or hate them. This book truely is a great read.

I couldn’t get on with this book, try as I might. There are a huge number of wonderful reviews for this novel and I really thought I’d enjoy it, but I just didn’t. I think it’s perhaps more ‘me’ than it is the book, especially going by the reviews.

I disliked all of the characters and found it was too busy. You’ve got a ‘jack the lad’ style protagonist who is just annoying. A crazy cop who seems to be missing marbles as opposed to brilliant. And then to top it off, a good cop with a terminally ill daughter. It was just too many storylines trying to happen and just didn’t work for me sadly.

This book was good but it was a bit slow to get started and took me a while to get into it which is why I didn’t give it 4 stars

This book was a big let down right from the start.

I could not relate to any of the characters in the book and the book was dull and did not grip me.

Also in places the book was very far fetched. a mum buries her daughter and goes back to work straight afterwards.

She seems to cope with her daughter on her own with no help or support it just felt far fetched and a big let down sorry.

This book is excellent from the get go. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks again Bloodhound for another amazing read.
