Reviews

  • I was totally gripped by this complex and intriguing story. Another cracking read from Leona Deakin and my favourite so far! The tension between Bloom and Jameson created a whole new layer to this fascinating read. I gave up trying to figure out what was going on and just enjoyed the drip feed of clues and red herrings. Can't wait for the next one!
