This is really different vibe than I usually read, normally sticking to domestic thrillers and this is all criminal enterprises and such but I have ti say it had me hooked! I flew through it in a late night sitting thanks to insomnia and I was completely lost in the story. The setting, the characters, the secrets, its perfectly written and felt like watching an action film. There was so much going on and I coildnt put it down
I really enjoyed thus story and read it in one sitting. And what an amazing thriller. I found myself holding my breath at parts. A twisty, unique story with dark undercurrents. Xx
The Conspirators - G.W.Shaw (William Shaw)
G.W. Shaw's second international action adventure after Dead Rich.
Jacob Meaney is a translator, struggling to afford a deposit on a flat. A well paid job opportunity, of course, he doesn't know what he is getting into.
The action is based in a luxurious, secure compound in Austria, and Jacob quickly suspects the business is not strictly legal, and dangerous criminal gangs want a slice of the action.
There's an impressive threat level, with dangers inside the compound and the growing threat of a very hostile takeover from outside the walls.
There are some very good twists, and a clever use of this paranoid, big money environment that Jacob finds himself trapped in.
William Shaw wrote The Breen and Tozer series and The Birdwatcher / Cupidi series, I have to say I much prefer Crime fiction to adventure thrillers generally.
Entertaining and it kept me reading, I can see that adventure thriller fan will probably love it more.
Thanks to Netgalley and Quercus Books.
