About this listen

My dad says bad things happen when I break it....

Daniel is looking forward to his birthday. He wants pie and chips, a big chocolate cake and a comic book starring his favourite superhero. And as long as he follows The Rule, nothing bad will happen.

Daniel will be 23 next week. And he has no idea that he's about to kill a stranger. Daniel's parents know that their beloved and vulnerable son will be taken away. They know that Daniel didn't mean to hurt anyone, he just doesn't know his own strength. They dispose of the body. Isn't that what any loving parent would do?

But as forces on both sides of the law begin to close in on them, they realise they have no option but to finish what they started. Even if it means that others will have to die.... Because they'll do anything to protect Daniel. Even murder.

I have loved this author’s books but not this one as much. I did get into the story despite the terrible narration of one of the characters, it was basically matt berry doing a jammed up voice over voice. Def prefer authors other books . Good idea for a story, lots of characters, slight twists and turns, I was rooting for the main characters. Glad I finished but I nearly gave up half way through.
