Critic reviews

"What makes Michael stand out is how he invests suspense with such a strong emotional pull. No one else comes close." (Linwood Barclay)

"Never lets up on the suspense...Definitely Robotham's best to date." (Globe and Mail)

"Clever, intriguing and compelling, I loved this book." (Rachel Abbott)

I suggest before you read this you read the first book as you need to have the back story to fully understand this book. The author has taken a very difficult storyline and has brought it to life through Evie and Cyrus. I will not say more as plenty of reviewers have said a lot about the story but I hope this is not the end of Cyrus and Evie. Please write a sequel Michael!

Excellent story

I’ve read the Majority of Michael’s books, I like him a lot but more and more often now he seems to think it’s a good idea to get Woke and all lefty. If he continues down this path I suspect he’ll put a lot of readers off. Also prefer Sean as the Narrator but Joe is a good second. Overall excellent book.

Great writer, but he’s getting increasingly Woke.

I listened to the first book that was gifted by Tandem Collective UK and I couldn't wait for the second one. I had to get it on Audible straight away. I enjoyed hearing the narration again and being placed back into Evie and Cyrus life again. This is the most intense book I've ever read. The topic surrounds child sex trafficking. I'm happy with how it ended. I doubt there will be a third. There is no need. I can't reccomend this book and the first one enough. My top reads of 2020.

An Intense Thriller
