An action packed thriller that was enjoyable, with a couple little nitpicks. This was my Kindle First pick for February. I'll be honest, I wasn't that excited going into it, but I thought it sounded the most interesting out of what was being offered. I don't regret picking it up at all! Kept my attention from page one to the very last page.

It starts off quickly and doesn't let up until the killer is revealed at the end. A few twists and turns here and there. I had a small inkling of who the killer might be, but was still surprised at the end. Lots of action and very few (if any) slow scenes.

Even though I didn't find our hero to be particularly endearing (but I don't think he was meant to be) and not very likeable, he was written very realistically. I didn't agree with everything he did, but being in the same situation, I think I would have done the same thing, and I understood why he did what he did. We don't learn too much about other characters, other than our hero and a little bit about the young woman who goes on the run with him. Also enjoyed the chapters about our hero's past, and while I didn't think there was too much of a point to them, it did flesh out his character a little more and explained his actions.

There was one other part I didn't quite understand, when he meets two Eastern European men. Without revealing any spoilers, the situation felt unresolved at the end, and left me scratching my head as to what the point of those scenes were. Thought it would lead somewhere, but it didn't.

Other than that, I enjoyed the book and Mr. Croft's writing. I would pick up this author's other, and future works.

I got this free because I was interested to read something by Croft who was featured in the Guardian as someone who has managed to make a (very healthy) living as a self published author. It languished on my to read like for a while until I found myself with 2 hours to kill, no book or Kindle or phone signal and so only the titles I had downloaded to the Kindle app on my phone to choose from. 'Too Close For Comfort' was one of them.
It's basically rubbish, clichéd and predictable with one dimensional characters and ludicrous situations. But the prose flows well enough and I kept turning the pages until I was done.… (meer)

An okay (but only okay) concept that completely fails to excite due to pretty bad writing. The book includes my most hated of modern crime tropes, multiple narrators for no reason. Here they add absolutely nothing and the book would be better (although still not great) with a single narrator. Worst of all was the unconvincingly neat ending. Bleagh
