Critic Reviews:

"a convincing portrayal of a violent underworld." (The Independent)

Members Reviews:

Unrealistic and unbelievable

I tried to overlook some early misgivings and persevered because I've recently visited Lindisfarne for the first time and really wanted to like this. Unfortunately the plot quickly descends into such an unbelievable direction that i lost interest. Some of the dialogue between Mike and Jill was very clunky and I didn't develop any real interest in the characters that would have counteracted my disbelief in the trajectory of the story line.

Tim Bruce did a very good job in the circumstances.
