BOOK SYNOPSIS
Jo Finnegan is attacked while leaving work one evening by criminals threatening her more harm if she does not provide them with information she doesn’t have.
When she gets home, Jo finds her sister dead in her front room, and her wife missing.
When the police arrive and arrest her, while she is still in shock from the events of the night, Jo realises she’s been framed for her sister's murder.
But that’s only the beginning of her nightmare.
This fast paced,action packed thriller is voiced entirely from the perspective of Jo Finnegan, a Barrister who finds herself caught up in a terrifying nightmare of vicious thugs,car chases, lies,deception and betrayals that shatter life as she knows it into tiny little pieces. After being attacked in a alleyway by a gang of thugs who insisted that she had something that they wanted, Jo had managed to get home only to discover the dead body of her sister Tina and that her wife Sarina was missing. Jo had hardly had a chance to register what had happened before she was hauled in for questioning by the police and as the interrogation progressed it became apparent that she was their prime suspect for Tina's murder. She soon realises that the only way that she is going to clear her name is by figuring out what is going on and to do that then she will have to find Sarina. But where is Sarina, is she even still alive and what is the mysterious object that Jo's attackers insisted she had in her possession? Who had murdered Tina and were the motives behind her death? Jo's quest for answers will see her pushed well out of her comfort zones and discovering a strength of character that not even she knew existed within herself.
I really liked Jo, I loved her sense of humour and witty comments and observations about the dangerous situations she found herself in and the various unsavoury individuals she encountered throughout the book. The author's portrayals of Jo's conflicting feelings and emotions were realistic and it was fascinating to witness the subtle changes her character underwent as her quest continued and she uncovered more questions than answers. I found myself rooting for Jo as she tried to figure out what the hell was going on whilst being pursued by her numerous enemies.
The secondary characters were a mixed bag of vivid individuals many of whom were untrustworthy and some who had hidden secrets and were prepared to do everything in their power to prevent the truth from being uncovered.
This is a thrilling, intelligently written, fast paced, roller coaster ride that had me pinned to my chair from the first page and hardly given a opportunity to draw in a breath as I was rocketed through the various twists and turns of the author's exhilarating story. I would love to watch a movie or tv adaptation of this enthralling thriller and would gladly recommend it to readers who enjoy reading books with plots that being to mind author's such as Simon Kernick, T.M.Logan and Richard Parker.
