Writer's block is nothing compared to the tale London-based novelist Matt Wells is now caught in. A chain of seemingly innocent e-mails from a devoted fan turns sinister when Matt discovers his correspondent is a cold-blooded killer with an agenda for murder.

This is the real thing, and soon Matt is plunged into a plot more twisted than any he could dream up for his novels. With each killing the man known as the White Devil tightens his grip by incriminating Matt at the murder scene. Cast not only as the victim but also the ghostwriter of the grisly story, Matt must risk everything to protect those he loves. But with the police closing in and Matt's friends being picked off, the White Devil is out there…plotting Matt's ultimate ending.

Well, when two of your favourite writers praise a book...you know, (or perhaps hope!) that you're in for a treat. Well, John Connolly says this is "a thrilling, blackly funny read" & Mark Billingham says it's "white-knuckle stuff"
So did I agree with them? Well, it was an entertaining enough read, with, if I'm honest, a catch at the ending I wasn't altogether expecting...though the last few chapters where it was "all boys together" did let it down a bit for me. On the whole, a good read (but not quite up to Connollys & Billinghams standard - sorry!) & I'll watch out for more by this author, can't say fairer than that...

Thank you Plum-crazy for this book. Maybe this one isn't quite to my taste. But the other one you sent looks very interesting. I WILL make sure it finds another bookcrosser! Hope you don't mind.

Am taking this one to release at The Bean OBCZ in Nottingham to release on August Bank Holiday. If The Bean is shut will bring the book back home with me.
