About this listen

From CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron comes a shocking, twisted novel of psychological suspense about one woman's attempt to be better than ordinary.

Something's happened.

A lot of things have happened.

If she could turn back time, she wondered how far she would go.

Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice.

Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk.

Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero - if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.

Clever dialogue and action

This book is quite different from most of Mike Herron books I’ve read. It was an interesting psychological thriller with the spy craft I so love in his other novels.

A Bit Slow to start BUT

Once the set up got out of the way the story was quite interesting. BUT it took a long time to get to the actual story. Don’t let this put you off the author because the later stories get to the point a whole lot quicker.

Repetitive and slow

I love Mick Herron books but this was a real grind from beginning to end

Very disappointing

I’ve listened to the Slow Horses series, and really enjoyed them. This book is nothing like them. I found all of the characters irritating and implausible. None of them engaged me.
