"This is a strong thriller. It’s tautly written, has good pace, good dialogue and an intriguing plot.The prologue is gripping and hooks the reader into the story. From then on the narrative moves at a cracking pace. I like the way you regularly switch between scenes. It’s done smoothly and injects paceinto the novel.Characters are all well drawn ... You write well — this is a smooth and easy read. Dialogue is consistently good. I couldn’t find any places where it seemed stilted. The dialogue helps to move the plot forward and injectspace.The basic plot seems a good and intriguing one.Settings are fine. The bombing at the start is atmospheric and the bit at the start of Chapter Four about Madrid adds to the novel’s Spanish feel."
