Product Description
It's 1985. A man is hunted down and killed by a woman assassin known as The Head Hunter. Sixteen years later, his body turns up and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is called in to investigate. The day the body is found, Claire Lumsdon is the victim of a violent kidnap - the fourth in a series of abductions of young girls. For Claire and her sixteen-year-old sister Kerry, it's the beginning of a nightmare. Convinced the police can't help, Kerry sets out on a frantic search for her sister. But her hunt leads her to much more than she'd bargained for: a violent underworld; a sixteen year old murder; and, finally, the secrets about her past - and her father - which her mother hoped she'd never have to face. And all the time, the clock is ticking for Claire -

The story is too unbeleivable and cliched.,
By Mrs Angela Rhodes (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Run for Home (Paperback)
I bought this book after reading the hype, unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations. It is written in the style of Martina Cole with a lot more swearing but not in the same class I'm afraid. The story is so unbelievable in places I could not take it seriously, it is littered with coincidences that just would not happen in real life. Reading this book was like watching a bad B movie filled with actors who cannot act!! I do not recommend it.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Run for Home (Paperback)
When I read the blurb, I thought this is my kind of book. Sadly I was disappointed. While the idea for the plotline was good, it did not live up to my expectations. I did not feel the fear I ought to have felt in Claire, the young girl who was kidnapped, or even in her family. Also, I would like to have seen more differentiation of character, particularly in their dialogue. The police inspector's language was little different from that of the criminals she was hunting or from the young people and the adults around them.But what really put me off this book was the vast amnount of bad language. I accept that it was an integral part of the characters' lifestyle, but I'm sure the point would have been made more clearly by its more limited use.

This review is from: Run For Home (Mass Market Paperback)
I liked many bits of this book, the characters were good - why we have the story of the the missing/transvestite husband is a bit of a mystery but....... - the main difficulty with this book is the bad language it is totally over the top and quite puts you off the book. I've tried to skip over those bits but there isn't much left, I'm certainly no prude but this level of bad language simply gets in the way of the story.
