Gripping Read
Well what can I say first time reading by this author , but what a read couldn't put it down it was absolutely a brilliant book the ending brill can't wait to read more books by this author

Amazing
Probably shouldn’t have started this one so late at night! Was gripped from page one and then needed to stay up to finish it!
Captivating, thrilling and and amazing end! Will definitely be reading more of heath’s books

A Great Read!
A real page turner. I read it in almost one sitting. I loved the fact that Lomas wasn’t a tortured hero but a man who led from the front and who demonstrated great integrity and leadership. There were also some good strong women characters too. Twists and turns, thought I had it, then bam, things happen and the direction changes. Looking forward to the next book already

A Fantastic rollercoaster read from page one

I was really gripped from the start! Heath Gunn doesn't ease readers in gently, even in the first few pages there is a lot of action, and that sets the tone for the whole book. I really sympathised with the detectives – the drama and plot work really well to show they are running against the clock the whole way through.

DI Lomas Baxter and Louis Matthews are both expertly drawn and complex characters, and we get an insight into their personal lives which I found really helped me invest emotionally in them both.

I'm really looking forward to the second DI Baxter book!

Jaw dropping. Palpitations and a mixture of shock and excitement
Where do I start.
Heart beating fast , jaw dropping open, butterflies in my stomach are just done of the feelings I got while reading this fabulous book. As soon as I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. It had been gripped from the start. It is well written to the point you forget you are reading it and not actually living it. I highly recommend it and I can’t wait for the authors next novel!!!
I’m just gutted i have finished it.
