Praise for Trust No One:
‘A relentlessly exciting debut crime novel.’ Hull Daily Mail
Product Description
A timely and topical thriller which looks at the seedy back dealings of criminals and the police.
As a covert officer specialising in ‘deep cover’ operations, Marie Donovan works amongst the most dangerous criminals in Manchester. It’s a precarious life that puts Marie on the edge of the law.
When she begins an affair with Jake Morton, an informer due to give evidence against crime lord Jeff Kerridge, Marie knows she’s breaking a cardinal rule.
Yet just as she comes to her senses and puts an end to their relationship, Morton is murdered. Suddenly Marie’s undercover role is exposed and only one thing is certain – she can TRUST NO ONE.
An addictive read for fans of P.J.Tracey and Peter Robinson.

Format:Paperback
This is a tightly constructed, taught thriller with a strong protagonist. Marie Donovan is an undercover officer plunged into a milieu of shifting loyalties and the ever-present threat of extreme violence. As events spiral out of control - some of her own making - she questions her training, her superiors and the motives of the villains (though there are no easy black and white, right and wrong distinctions) - in a bid to stay in the `game'.
The suspense builds nicely and the ending came as a surprise. In many ways it's a small book - in terms of cast of characters and setting - but this only adds to the feeling of claustrophobia. However, Walters spends as much time on the characters - Marie's back story was well done, full of emotional resonance - as on the plot. Okay, some of the baddies might verge on caricatures, but then aren't they in real life?
This is compelling, well-written British crime fiction. If Walters writes another book with Marie Donovan as a protagonist, I'd buy it.

Format:Kindle Edition
When a London-based female detective goes into deep cover in Manchester to gain evidence to convict a major-league criminal, she knows that life will be fraught. However, it soon becomes very clear that there may be people on her own 'side' who are acting out of charactor. Soon she realises that she can Trust No One.
Less a who-done-it than a who-is-the-baddie this is a great read marred only by the gratuitous overuse of the F-adjective in the second half.

Ended somewhat abruptly, clearly leaving the door open for follow-up books. Such a shame, I felt let down after ploughing through nearly 400 pages. Otherwise I would have given the book 4 stars as it was well written. Probably best to purchase only if you intend to keep buying Alex Walters books.

Confusing with annoying ending.
Reading this book was a difficult experience - not because of the story but the constant movement between past and present - it became very unclear what the point of this was. Read more
