Product Description
Book Description
Indelibly scarred by childhood trauma, abuse and distrust, the main character (Jamie Allen) seeking refuge and solace, loses himself in the capital city. Forced by circumstances to grow up fast, he begins to build a new life for himself, gaining confidence, although still battling his inner demons. He lives a solitary life until fate intervenes and a chance meeting in a local bar suddenly turns his life upside down. He is charmed by her beauty and enthralled by her mystique. She becomes an all consuming obsession. After their brief but intimate liaison, the woman in question (Nikki Chandler) is followed home and strangled on her doorstep. When her body is discovered it echoes the unsolved murders of three other local women. Is he innocent or does his mind hold a dark and terrible secret ? Will he discover the truth before his tormented mind snaps completely ?

Redemption by Wayne Sharrocks,
By
This review is from: Redemption (Paperback)
Can you enjoy a book that leaves you feeling paranoid and uncomfortable?
Oozing with claustrophobic malice, Sharrocks lures into his disturbing world of mistaken identity, easily bonding you with mentally fragile protagonist Jamie Allen, he takes you on a nightmare journey into the depths of real life horror. Proving the world of fantasy demons and ghoulish monsters just can't shake you like a situation that could actually happen to any of us right here and right now, this book will leave you avoiding policemen everywhere for fear of sharing Jamie's fate. Not just a murder story, but a thought provoking novel that has you turning the pages as fast as you can - and just when you think you can let out the breath you've been holding...Bam! A sting in the tail that you really wont have seen coming! Can you enjoy a book that leaves you feeling paranoid and uncomfortable? Absolutely.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A gripping & emotional thriller,
By Rach Maloney (Ilford, Essex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Redemption (Paperback)
As the other reviewers have readily testified this is a very taut,gripping an emotional psychological thriller. You see the tale develop through the eyes of the lead character and are led through a very tense and nailbiting story. I found it to be a very well written and descriptive text with great characterization and containing great wit and emotion. A touching read.

An excellent book - highly recommended,
By Rebecca H (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Redemption (Paperback)
You never know quite what to expect from a first time author, The writer paints a pretty vivid and accurate picture of the realities of life and I was very impressed by the writing style. You were gripped by what happens throughout - constantly hoping that life would work out for the character... And there's a pretty amazing sex scene, the description of which made me wonder why on earth I don't have a man like that?! Wow! Bring on the sequel!
