Summary
From CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron comes a shocking, twisted novel of psychological suspense about one woman's attempt to be better than ordinary.
Something's happened.
A lot of things have happened.
If she could turn back time, she wondered how far she would go.
Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice.
Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk.
Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero - if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.

Enjoyable twists and turns to the story
I enjoyed the fact that you couldn’t second-guess the narrative, taking you on a nail-biting journey.
Great reading by the Narrator too. I was shouting advice to the characters!!!

Different
Rather different from the Mick Herrons I’ve been used to; but a very well told story, superbly performed.

This builds....then builds...
I couldn't grasp this then as each part slotted in suddenly I was gripped. I thought MH had let me down, but, no. As brilliant as always...love Julia Franklin too .

Audible at its best
Excellent narration, full of drama and passion. Really helped bring a good story to life.
A great example of why I have become an audible convert!

Sadly not in the Slough House bracket
Clever plot idea, with some brilliant and typical Heron descriptive prose, but lacked the razor wit which I love about his Jackson Lamb series.

Thrilling
This is another well-written and thrilling story from Mick Herron. if you like his work, you will like this. It is also beautifully read, subtlety engaging and emotive without going too far.

This is what we're used to
I'm a great fan of Mick Herron's writing. Any book by him is worth 5 stars and this one is no exception. Imogen Church has just the right voice to tell Maggie's story. I loved it!

Not sure how to place this
Great twisty story but not very believable. It is a bit all over the place and trying to be too clever, jumping from narrator to narrator. Not as bad as some reviews make out but nowhere in the league of his other books.
Worth a shot. It isnt bad but could have done with a bit of polish. it could even be turned into a reasonable film.

Not his best
Found the story a bit slow. There are not many characters in the story, which is one of the strengths in his work. Whole thing was a bit predictable.
