Reviews
’A vision of the future that both chills and entertains.’ Jake Kerridge (Sunday Express Magazine)
‘Tugwell brings to life his exhilarating and provocative debut crime thriller with a twist.’ The Malestrom, 4 of the Best Beach Reads: Summer 2019
5* Review ’The writing hurtles along like a runaway train and you can barely pause for breath. What renders it original and ingenious is the background of embedded technology called ‘iMe’. It’s a crime thriller and it is very thrilling.’ Gill Chedgey (NB Magazine)
‘An ingenious and highly plausible look at crime in a future with 100% surveillance’ Claire McGowan, Best selling author
‘Very topical, terrifying, perfect concept for a crime novel’ Stav Sherez, Award winning author
‘Darkly twisted crime novel in a future that seems to grow closer every day. Fantastically imaginative and gripping.’ Angela Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author

Fast paced and creepy – we are too close to this!
Chillingly possible
Enjoyed this book so much I downloaded an audio version as well so I could carry on with the story while doing chores.
5*s from me as the storyline is brilliant. The book has got me thinking about (and talking about) the technological innovations Jem Tugwell introduces in the book. Are they are good or bad thing? How long will it be before we have systems such as these in place. My full review is on EmmabBooks.com
