This was a Kindle promo book for free and I usually have about a 5% success rate with those freebies.  However, the ones that are excellent and done for exactly the reason this author did his - hook the reader on a really great story and they'll buy the rest of your books (which I am).The story line might be a little uncomfortable for some, especially since the author often refers to teens having various forms of sex (remember, he's English and they tend to be less prudish than Americans) but it's plucked straight from today's headlines.  Actually, before I ever finished the book, I taped over the webcam on my laptop!The story moves quickly, has likeable and believable characters and kept this reader in suspense until the very end.  It was the perfect length when so many author feel compelled to add bulk instead of quality.  It ended exactly when it should have, leaving the reader satisfied and the story concluded properly.So, if you like mystery/thrillers with a different slant, I think you'll enjoy this book.  I've grown tired of the crazy serial killer detective stories and so this was a welcome change to the genre.
