This stand alone novel by Robotham has received numerous awards like the Gold Dagger and Best Crime Novel of the Year. It is almost a David and Goliath type of story with allusions to Bonny and Clyde, but Robotham adds his own twist to…

An incredibly well-written mystery. The author holds the reason behind Audie's seemingly suicidal behavior hidden for most of the story. Intense, tragic and totally enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys…

Enjoyed this so much, I read it twice. All the glowing reports are well deserved, everything falls into place in the end. Highly recommended.

Excellent book. It kept me turning pages all night long. Audie did everything for love. Life is short. Love is Vast. Live your life like there is no tomorrow.

'A writer who can create terror from the commonplace' : words on the cover state. Are they talking about a different book? Anyhow, I liked this book. It's not a thriller but is physiological and suspenseful. Revelatory of how men think,…

I cannot believe what an exciting book this was. I thought throughout the read, where do these Robotham come up with this plot. Absolutely enthralled with all the characters good and bad. I too enjoy stand alone books better then the…

I really enjoyed this book. I have read his series books and although I like them - this stand-alone with twists is great.

This was my first time reading this author. I really enjoyed this story and the character of Audie. The poor guy can't catch a break. Everyone is out to get him and the odds are stacked against him, but he keeps on going - trying to…

Wow, what a page-turning mystery, and I cried like a baby at the end.

Robotham has an entertaining writing style and original phrasings that made this book more enjoyable than it would have been in the hands of a less talented writer. Having said that, the storyline was somewhat predictable and I never felt…

Excellent; non-series character. Not for the squeamish.

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is filled with action, and the story is very well written. It is a good crime and police novel with many twists. It was hard to put it down.

A good read. I love Michael Robotham's "Joe O'Loughlin" books and was expecting a similar psychological thriller. Not much psychology but lots of action in this book.
