Advantages: A real page turner
Disadvantages: Can be quite gruesome in parts
I still remember reading the blurb on the back of the book and thinking that it sounded interesting but I wasn't too sure whether to buy it as I had so many unread books collecting dust on my bookshelves. However, I am so glad that I made the purchase as this book had me hooked from the start. I vividly remember reading it in bed and actually feeling scared. This book provoked many emotions other than fear, like intensity, excitement and anger, that I had only ever felt when watching television or a film. The writing was excellent and allowed me to visualise exactly what was happening and drew me into the story with every page turn. It was one of those books that when you had finished a chapter you had to read on, as there was no way I could close the book and not knowing what had happened after the cliffhanger. What impressed me the most was the detail of the postmortems and the medical accuracy. It's little details that made the book more believable and allowed me to feel like part of the drama.
I would highly recommend this book to fans of thrillers and crime novels.
Summary: Excellent plot which has you gripped from start to finish
