Consistently Good,
By
This review is from: The Headhunter (Paperback)
Paul's latest work follows on well from his previous works. Generally in this sort of genre there is a tendency towards "potboilers", but this is not so far evident with Kilduff.The story develops well, and as someone who lives and works in London, there are little things that add a sense of realism, little touches, for example around his apartment, that give you the feeling that "maybe this story is really happening, after all... London's a big place". The serial killer himself is the weakest part of the book, but doesn't detract from overall enjoyment.

Disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Headhunter (Paperback)
Oh dear, oh dear..........cardboard characters and wafer-thin plot. Surely just dropping names of products doesn't make a story? I read one of Mr Kilduff's previous offerings, which was considerably better than this attempt.If you want a thriller that really looks at dastardly deeds in the City and finance, try "Tarnished Copper", by Geoffrey Sambrook.

Interesting characters, each with an interesting story,
By
This review is from: The Headhunter (Paperback)
What is so likeable about this thriller is the way the characters each have a gameplan which involve high stakes as you would expect in the world of finace, testing their nerves to the limits, which helps build tension as the story unfolds.
