Another 5 star review on Amazon!

Like many reviewers I started to read this not expecting much for my 77 pence. How wrong I was, from the first page the story gripped and did not let up until the last. One of the most original books I have read in a long time, made more so by the fact that the author has no previous experience of writing prior to this. The style therefore is one that reminded me of an extended piece of writing that would be done in an English lesson at school under the heading 'An exciting Tale!' and is all the more enthralling because of this. The story charts the demise of Dave, who manages a portfolio of high end properties in Central London and lives the stereotypical yuppie lifestyle. All this disappears in one mad drunken moment which results in him losing his job and fleeing to Spain where he encounters a rollercoster lifestyle of drugs, drink, women and non stop partying. Dave's life comes crashing down one night when, on leaving a party, he encounters a horrific hotel fire which, as a result, turns his life upside down.
Genuinely suspenseful, with more twists and turns than a corkscrew, 'Wrong Place,Wrong Time' lives up to it's name. Easy to read, hard to put down, I devoured it in one sitting. One of the books that, for me anyway, will stay with me for some time....heartily recommended.
