Product Description

Product Description

It is 1985. Well respected lawyer David Fraser has been tipped as the next head of Britain’s Security Service, MI5. Not only is David a man who deals in dark secrets, he has one of his own, a secret so damning that if it is uncovered it will destroy him.

David’s father dies. David has a hip injury from when he was young and he enlists his brother’s help to clear the family house.

What they find in the attic threatens to turn David’s world on its head. In an attempt to conceal the truth from his brother he falls deeper and deeper into a tangle of deceit and lies that take him back to his teen years, to the time when his parents encouraged him to befriend Thomas Todd, a boy who had access to weapons. At first David is impressed. He soon realises that Todd can be unpredictable and violent.

This novel is suitable for young adults upwards.

I downloaded this on my Kindle for ipad and was not disappointed.

I read a reasonably large number of modern fiction works and am not afraid to discard something if it does not hold my attention or if the writer is unable to convince me of the reality of their world. From the outset I found myself utterly transfixed, transported into a world which was not only gripping but believable, unlike so many modern suspense novels.

The book is set largely in the recent past, in a time I know nothing of personally. I am pleased to say that this did not make any difference to my enjoyment of the novel. The main reason for this is Richard's exceptional character construction: I found myself fully committed to both them and their relationships without effort.

So absorbed did I become that there were times when I had to pull back and remind myself the events of the novel were not happening to me. There are few books which have managed to make me laugh out loud and cry openly in the space of a few short pages, let alone keep me coming back for more.

Whilst I don't know whether my review will be helpful to anyone who is considering purchasing I would encourage you to do so.

A great read 26 Mar 2012
By A. Hill
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A really enjoyable book, and very well written. I loved the way the author tells two stories set years apart, with twists and turns aplenty. The characters are well drawn, and the storyline kept my interest levels up right to the end. Heartily recommended.

A Good Read 19 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I enjoyed this book. I found it well written and an intriguing story. The characters were well drawn and believable. A nice twist at the end to solve a mystery but I was a little disappointed in the final part detailing the end of the 'faithful old retainer'. For me, that was the only part which seemed a bit forced. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable read and very different to the usual run of the mill.
