Guardian Builds to a heart-constricting climax Times Crime Club This is such a well-written book...with lots of funny asides. Highly recommended...Khurrum Rahman is definitely one to watch, and I cant wait to read the next book Annette, Netgalley Pacy and punchy - this is a rip roaring thriller Gavin, Netgalley This is very real, no holds barred, no punches pulled storytelling. It is a multi-layered character drama, a coming of age tale in a lot of ways and an often edge of the seat thriller - I held my breath through the last few chapters only to be hit with an ending so gut wrenching that I actually let out a little cry. I loved it. Liz Barnsley, lizlovesbooks.com East of Hounslow has a bit of everything: a clever plot, an engaging protagonist, humour, a glimpse of the extremist mindset and some sad scenes. There are a couple of interesting twists as well. It is extremely well done and had me laughing out loud at some points. Excellent entertainment. Elaine, Netgalley Hilarious. Brilliant. Grounded in reality, with some fabulous dialogue. So absorbing, you forget the rest of the world exists. Khurrum Rahman is an author to keep your eye on. Highly recommended.
