Read
by Rupert Degas, this story comes to life as it twists
and turns through its convoluted plot.
The characters are human, confused teenagers,
scared and worried adults trying to find the victims,
and killers and radicals trying to achieve their aims,
even if it is the last thing the world needs.
The
book is well written, with only a slight amount of explict
content. The violence is
rather graphic, as is usual in this kind of story, even
though it could be toned down a little.
Listen to Private London and enjoy another
James Patterson thriller.
