Good fast-paced action in this thriller, and I was kept guessing who it was until all was revealed - I had it narrowed down to two! Characters all had individual personalities (some stereotypes but that didn't detract from them) and the narrator was excellent at the voices. I had enjoyed The Sanatorium and was surprised by a sequel/series but I'm glad that this one was different enough from the first and allowed more of a story/background to be developed for Elin and Will. I will definitely look out for more by Sarah Pearse, and more narrated by Gemma Whelan too.
