I really enjoyed reading this dark and gritty Thriller.

This was a new to me author so I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I became immersed in the storyline. I ended up binging this books in under 24 hours, the writing was very intriguing. There was plenty of action, twists and suspense.

I'd recommend this one and will be checking out more of his prior releases.

Thank you Paul Finch , Net Galley and Amazon Publishing UK | Thomas and Mercer for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

A really good idea for a book, ex ‘dirty’ cops from a variety of forces and caught doing various unPolice like things are invited ( via a mysterious sounding group, headed by a Billionaire who wants to ‘help’ them once again lead their best lives ) to the Scilly Isles for a holiday and to find out more about the organisation

Pretty soon it is obvious they have been misled and are there for an entirely different reason and the book takes a sharp turn into a full on thriller as the ex cops suddenly again become cops and try and discover who/what/why before it is too late

As say a great concept for a book and was interesting to read about the ex Police and what they had done and why they had done it and the action part of the book was fast and a lot packed in

First time read this author and enjoyed the writing and adventure….

Exciting read

When some disgraced ex-cops are told there is a rich benefactor giving them a second chance with an all expenses paid trip to an island off the coast of Cornwall.
Jack is unsure, thinks if its too good to be true then its a trap. Hes convinced by friend and ex colleague Claudia.
What follows is a very Agatha Christie esq Then There were None story, but far more brutal and id argue more clever and twisty.
The setting is perfect and used perfectly to add tension to the story. The characters, despite being criminals themselves aren't allowed dislaikeable. In fact I liked the vast majority.
The death toll is high and some are brutal. One took me totally by surprise.
The island, and isolated place, a bunch of people trapped, a storm, no phones or Internet, and some of their number start disappearing. What more could you ask for?
Its a gripping read and I read it over 2 days.
