I have no idea of whether this is the authors debut novel, but I'm guessing it may well be. If so, I stand and applaud him. I will also find his author page and sign up for notifications of when his next book will be released as I don't want to miss it. He is that good folks.

The twists in here are exceptional - none of this cliche stuff - and you'll be impressed at how such a complex novel can be both easy to read yet challenging on the mind. If you're looking for a great plot, engaging characters, fast pace and a completely different read to the norm, then make sure you get it on your Christmas list - you won't be disappointed.

There's been an asesinato. In fact there's been another and another ... all found mutilated and entombed within the walls of Spanish villas around Almeria. As the bodies pile up, the mystery deepens, and with that comes an increasing sense of danger for journalist Danny Sanchez.

Scarecrow kept me guessing, made me uncomfortable, had me groaning with frustration at the lead character and sweating as I worked out what was going on and had to keep on reading as the book reached its conclusion. I can't recommend Scarecrow highly enough.
