Best for:
People who like thrillers.

In a nutshell:
In one morning in London the entire seven member investigations team from a national news network is murdered, individually, at knife point. Who did it? And why?

Worth quoting:
N/A

Why I chose it:
Paperback sale.

Review:
Famie is a journalist at IPS in London, and she not too long ago had applied to be a member of the investigations team but lost out on the gig. Lucky for her, because that entire team is murdered on their commutes in to work one morning. Famie has connections to a few members as friends, but one is also a former boyfriend.

No one claims responsibility - so why were they killed? What were they working on? Two months before their murders, the entire team has stopped storing any work on their work computers.

To complicate things, someone is communicating with Famie. The reader learns who that person is, as we learn more about the motivations behind the murders. But we also learn that another attack is planned, so the book swirls around whether Famie and her colleagues can use their journalistic backgrounds to investigate the murders and potentially save more people from peril.

I read the first chapter before going to sleep on Tuesday and realized if I kept reading I’d never go to sleep. I only waiting two more days to finish it because I had plans on Wednesday. It’s that kind of entertaining that you don’t want to stop reading. This was a mostly thrilling read, with a mostly satisfying ending. It’s only not five stars because I’m still not entirely, 100% sure exactly what happened. But don’t let that put you off.

I heard the author interviewed before reading the book, so had a good idea what to expect. A complex plot with multiple characters, not all surviving far into the book. The story is written from the point of view of Famie Madden, experienced journalist at a London press agency, several of whose investigative journalists are killed in a terrorist attack. Famie takes it upon herself to try to track down the perpetrators, risking herself her daughter and colleagues. Interestingly nearly all the positive characters are women and the villains men! The author makes good use of local knowledge of Coventry from his time at Warwick university. ( )

Knife Edge is a fast moving thriller set in the journalists’ world. Seven co-ordinated attacks have occurred across the city and another reporter is in danger, culminating in a game of cat and mouse.

Although I did think this was a well written, edge of your seat type of story and it definitely takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride, it didn’t really hit the mark for me. I’m not a fan of political thrillers, especially ones featuring terrorists. I read this via the Pigeonhole app and when I saw it was available, I thought I’d give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! However, I couldn’t really engage with it - it started off well but I began to lose interest towards the middle of the book. Nevertheless, I think it would make a fantastic film.

Most other Pigeonhole members loved it, so I’m in the minority with my feelings here. I’m more of a psychological mystery type of girl. If you enjoy action packed, plot driven thrillers, you’ll love this one. ( )
