Set in the evocative landscapes of the English Lake District and the Scottish highlands, as well as the mean streets of Manila, "The Fell Walker" is a fast moving thriller with a poignant touch that sets it apart. A government minister is found dead at the foot of a Lake District mountain, adding to a sudden increase in the accident statistics. A lonely Scotsman leaves his isolated croft and travels to steamy Manila. These apparently unconnected events are the first sketches on a large canvas, soon to be smeared blood red by a brutal killer. Who is he? What is driving him? And why are his hideous crimes being ignored by the police? A small town journalist, Ben Foxley, starts to investigate. In the process, he is drawn into a world of technology and politics, love and obsession, and finally to a living nightmare - a terrifyingly personal race against time. Before beginning "The Fell Walker", allow yourself some quality reading time, for once you've picked it up, you'll not want to put it

I dont really read thrillers and a friend gave this to me to try. I have not been reading much recently and thought I would read a few pages and give up. How wrong I was! Superbly written and that is illustrated by the fact that the plot was a bit incredible at times and had some inconsistencies but it just did not matter. The characters were all fascinating, especially the main baddy. I live nearby to the setting and that helped but many people know the Lakes and Sutherland. There were some beautiful passages of description. The description of the Lakes by the German professor, and why they are so appealling, left me in tears! I read it in less than 8 hours. You want some books to end because you want to find out what happened and you dont want some books to end because you are immersed in the world. This book managed both at the same time: a rare feat!

I agree wholeheartedly with the comment in the synopsis - "once you've started you won't want to put it down". Although it became obvious whodunit quite early in the book, the plot remained gripping till the end. The setting of the majority of the action in The Lake District meant a trip down memory lane and should appeal to anyone who has spent holidays in that area. I look forward to a sequel before too long.

A fabulous read, it keeps you gripped throughout. If you enjoy the Lakes it's good to know some of the places the author writes about. It's a must to read.
