Synopsis
* selected as THE TIMES & THE SUNDAY TIMES Book of the Month ** Risk everything, trust no one. Jen Shaw is climbing in the mountains near Alajar, Spain. And it's nothing to do with the fact that an old acquaintance suggested that she meet him there... But when things don't go as planned and her brother calls to voice concerns over the whereabouts of their mother, Morwenna, Jen finds herself travelling to a refugee camp on the south coast of Malta. Free-spirited and unpredictable as ever, Morwenna is working with a small NGO, helping her Libyan friend, Nahla, seek asylum for her family. Jen is instantly out of her depth, surrounded by stories of unimaginable suffering and increasing tensions within the camp. Within hours of Jen's arrival, Nahla is killed in suspicious circumstances, and Jen and Morwenna find themselves responsible for the safety of her daughters. But what if the safest option is to leave on a smuggler's boat? The second instalment in the action-packed, 'pulse-pounding' Jen Shaw series, following Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month On the Edge.
My Review
This was a great thrilling novel. It did take a little time to get into, as this is the second in the series. It was written well to work as a standalone as it caught me up on the important points from the previous book. I was actually expecting the whole book to be set at sea with its fantastic cover. It was an exciting story with some great seafaring elements. It was definitely an interesting book. There was some great edge of your seat moments. I really liked the flow of the book. I really like the vulnerability of certain characters. It was great not knowing who you could trust it was very gripping. I definitely recommend reading this action-packed story. I loved the female James bond type story. I also loved all the outdoor recreation elements, especially the climbing. I can't wait to read more from this author.
So much praise goes out for creating an exciting story that had my pulse racing.
