BookTrail the locations in The First 48 Hours

A novel to transport you around London on a heck of a ride!

I haven’t read a Simon Kernick novel for a while but what was this? I thought it might be a good thriller but this was on another level. Three stories and three very different characters all circling around each other, spinning faster and faster, getting intertwined before the threads all come together and garrots you.

This was the first book from my Harrogate haul. Not out until October but get this on your TBR! It’s really hard to describe the plot as it soon spirals into something I was swept away with, But let’s just say there are a lof of people in this book who lie or who don’t know what they’re saying.
The cliffhangers at the end of chapters were some of the best I had read in quite a while!

The three threads and characters all stood out and all were very distinctive from each other. The detective, the mother, the missing child and the couple in the funeral home. Blimey when you see how it all goes down and how they all come together.

The opening scene in an empty barn is one of the most chilling I have ever read and that includes Scandi fiction!

There’s a lot to get your teeth into with this one. It is FAST PACED so buckle down and hold on tight!
