Members Reviews:

Great read, couldn't put it down.

I found this book to be a captivating read with great characters and I was drawn in from the first page.

For me it was both reflective and poignant in that as a 30-something I could relate to many of the complex emotional aspects and life choices made by the characters, which was both sobering and bitter-sweet. I found it surprising that a male writer understood the female psyche so well.

Humorous relief and complex interwoven story-lines with unforeseen twists made this book very enjoyable and hard to put down. I'm looking forward to reading more books by this talented author !

Intelligent Thriller

Cleverly plotted thriller involving real suspense and well drawn characters. A compelling story that was full of surprises and very hard to put down until the end. One of the most exciting new fiction books I have encountered in a long long time.. I look forward to more from this writer.

Very good read.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was suspenseful, captivating and hard to put down. Very good read.

A real page turner

This book was full of unsuspecting twists and turns and was very entertaining from beginning to end. I can't wait to read something else by Nathan Field.

We have a housing estate which appears posh and secure ...

We have a housing estate which appears posh and secure with thousands of tenants. We are dealing in the story with just three of them. Claire, Dennis and Trixie.

Each of them is a story in itself. Claire feels there is an intruder in her flat - things are moved about, Dennis accidentally takes ecstacy pills thinking they are headache tablets and Trixie is faced with a surprising visit from her cleaner who reveals that Trixie's partner has been also her cleaner's partner for sometime.

Taken over a period of twenty four hours (which was a bit too crammed in with action for just twenty four hours) we look at the three lives and the twists and turns which happen with far reaching consequences. This is definitely not a mediocre day and not routine and you are kept wondering what on earth is going to happen next.

The characters are complex and not what they seem with the exception of Dennis who was completely out of his depth!
