Super exciting and full of thrills

The book was fantastic, narrator is phenomenal. Living away from his wife, Chloe is living with Fenchurch. Chloe is now working in the police department as things get tense, Fenchurch is out to find the person that is after him and stalking Abbey. Fenchurch is being framed and the race to find who’s a good cop/bad cop will he be able to find out. It is gripping and a must read book.

Bored!

I have read all the Fenchurch books so far. I really enjoyed the early ones but I think this will be my last. I find Abby, Chloe and all the needless mentions of Fenchurches bad knee to be boring and repetitive. I also don’t care much for either Cloe or Abby. Too much time is spent on them rather than Fenchurch, his team and the investigation itself.

I also got bored with the last hour of the story and fast forwarded to the last ten minutes. Did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would. For me, the Fenchurch character has become too dissipated and unfocused and I don’t enjoy it any more.
