Tell No Lies

An excellent story by Greg Hurwitz and published by Penguin books.


The lead character Daniel Brasher is always a popular figure in this story that has been well written.

He is always torn in opposite directions though if he were a Superhero he would be very modest.

Set in San Francisco, the story soon sets a scene that is well described and in parts, though you may have never been there, you recognise familiar sounds and smells, along with all other senses.

The tale is primarily about Daniel, serial killings, estranged family and neighbours, rehabilitation and choices;

It is so much more than a who-done-it, all the characters have an important part to play, each bringing a piece of the jigsaw to the table.

There are some strong facets to the story of upbringing, lessons learnt, appreciation of others circumstances but most of all choices.

If you were finding yourself on the wrong side of the law, Daniel would help you want to make the cross over back.

As a one of story from the shelf it works well, lives long in the memory and still leaves a good amount of room for the reader to absorb and visualise the characters and storyline

For me this book / story  gets 9/10




Purchased my copy at ASDA, in hardback form but is also available to view on Amazon
