PRAISE FOR ROBERT RUTHERFORD:
Robert Rutherford hasn't just dipped his toes into the thriller genre; he's dived in headfirst. And the result is spectacular - a genuine edge-of-your-seat, thrill-a-minute adrenaline rush. Highly recommended
An absolute rip-roaring, globetrotting, adrenaline-fuelled thriller! The jeopardy seeps from the page, and the tension keeps ratcheting up until it's almost unbearable! Surely set to be a bestseller in 2024!
A race-against-time thriller that blends slick plotting with the flair of hard-boiled crime. A pacy and punchy read that will keep you thinking for seven days or more!
A tense, snappy, charged thriller, with complex family relationships, a great twist halfway, and brilliant locations
A cracking read. Great tension, good characterisation and a really interesting twist on a serial killer narrative. A five-star read
This was as pacy as it gets, racing through the North East, Paris and New York. Tightly plotted, sharp on character, and huge in scale
PRAISE FOR THE MISSING HOUR:
The pace of The Missing Hour is relentless, the story intriguing. If you're looking for a mile-a-minute thriller, this is the book for you!
