Critic reviews

"A gripping whodunnit set in the world of football." ( Sport)

"An entertaining read." ( The Times)

Not Kerrs Best

Not the best from Kerr but I still enjoyed it. For hardcore fans of this author perhaps. Scott Manson is a good character.

Entertaining and interesting

Not a super deep thriller from Kerr, but entertaining and interesting all the same. A good installment of the series

Poorly written

Complete lack of logical detail--really unbelievable sequence of events. Ridiculous dialogue often. Author not up to the task of writing a believable complex thriller.

one of the worst books I read lately

Nothing what you normally expect to find in a good book : characters, interesting thoughts and observations, good story , can be found here. Terrible.
