From the first word to the last I didn’t put down the bookVery interesting book to read

Was a fast read. I loved it! I'd recommend it!!

Easy read and great way to get book count up. The story kept my attention and there was plenty of plot twists. A little cheesy, but overall great.

Not as good as his other books but still a good read some similar story lines too from his other books

If you are a fan of Simon Kernick then you will like this book! It’s a mystery set in Scottish highlands! It’s was a 4⭐️read for me!

Read this book in one sitting!! It was a super quick and fast paced read. Twist ending! Loved it!

That's what I get for not reading the whole describtion! Was only $1.95 but that was $1.50 more than it was worth!

As you are reading, not only are you hoping and praying for a happy ending, but the reader is thoroughly surprised by the turn of events in the end.

When hiking in the Scottish hills you come across a girl who is running like her life depends on getting away, she is naked, desperate and doesn't speak English but what can you do, you're here on holiday. 4 friends decide that they will take her to their holiday home and try to help her but if she is running from something then won't that something come for them too?This is a thrilling read that is truly top notch from Simon Kernick and doesn't shy away from tension and fear being at the centre of the tale. If you've never read work from this author then why not take a chance on this one and find just how good his writing actually is?

I love this author but this novella (90 pages) from 2012 seems to be very closely inspired from many aspects of Eden Lake (2009) and other sickish stories in the same vein. In any case it is a crazy rush of violence and suspense. Loved it. To make it all even, I think recent Netflix movies also ripped it off. In any case Kernick is the man to read if you want to forget everything else. No dull moment in anything he writes.

"Wrong time, wrong place" è una novella, ovvero un romanzo breve, che possiede tutti gli ingredienti necessari ad un thriller ben riuscito: trama ricca di tensione, personaggi ben descritti, ritmo serrato e un colpo di scena finale davvero ben pensato. Bravo, Simon Kernick!

Un petit livre de 90 pages, une descente aux enfers ou on cherche desesperement un happy end . Extremement bien construit, des personnages peu nombreux, bien differencies, une action non diluee qui demarre au quart de tour, une ecriture brute, sans psychologie inutile, un cadre oppressant .2 couples d'amis un peu disparates passent un week end en pleine nature, il font de la randonnee quand une jeune fille desesperee, en fuite, leur demande de l'aide . Commencent alors leurs problemes car il y a des poursuivants . Une succession de huis clos a chaque fois plus etouffants, une scene de poursuite dans les bois trop bien ecrite, une actrice principale du drame, Ash, qu'on adore vite .Pas sur qu'on ait pu supporter une telle intensite 400 pages, incontestablement un coup de maitre d'avoir choisi le format 'nouvelle' .Vite un autre Simon Kernick, celui ci etait mon premier .

Good!
