Rating: 5 out of 5

I've been looking forward to Seb Kirby's #2 in the James Blake series. And I was not disappointed.Mr Kirby seems to like short snappy chapters which keeps the story moving and the reader enthralled. In this novel there are quite a few characters and it took me a couple of chapters to sort everyone out - but it did not put me off. A few are of course, James Blake and his now pregnant and vulnerable wife Julie. We also see James's brother Miles, although this time he has a much stronger role to play  than in book 1.Other prime characters are the ruthless German, Wolfgang Heller who is hired for his killing prowess by the Lando family - Blakes' bete noir and FBI agent Jeff Franks.There are many different scenes being played in this novel, (all at once), and it definitely kept me on my toes, both keeping up and guessing what was coming next. With the twists and turns, and the pace of this novel, I found it to be a tense and exciting thriller set in the sometime dark and seemingly seedy art world.Throw in a body or two, a frightening car chase and abduction and Seb Kirby has given us a classic thriller.Highly recommended.FM
