on April 02, 2012 :
I was expecting this book to be good. I wasn't disappointed. It's good, a very good read all round, far superior to the vast majority of airport novels and the like which adorn the bookshop shelves. Well researched and a story well told. It starts at a brisk pace and speeds as it progresses, good old fashioned story-telling at it's very best. I am now in my sixties and the clock is ticking - consequently I am a grumpy old man and have little time for also-rans. This is not an also ran - I repeat - it's right up there with the very best.
My wife also read this book. It is rare that we both find a book which we both like and are sorry to have finished but Remorseless filled the bill for both of us.
Read it. You won't be disappointed.
