Time Release by Martin J Smith was totally absorbing. Downing and his friend Jim Christensen race to stop a killer, who Downing failed to previously convict, before he can kill more innocent people. The pace is fast and the twists and turns hugely enjoyable. There is misdirection everywhere, but at no point do you feel the author is playing with the reader. A great story, well told. If you like Harlen Cobden you’ll like Martin J Smith. I received a copy of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
