It's a short story, not a novel.

I should have made note of the number of pages and the reviews before I purchased. I didn't realise that it was part of a "Quick Reads" collection. It definitely is quick: it's 125 pages printed in a large font and with a wide line spacing. It took me 40 minutes. The last 30 pages are an extract from Dead Simple.

The plot is trite and the characters one-dimensional. The prose style is odd too. I find it hard to believe that it's written by the author of the Roy Grace series.
