Brilliant review of Proximity by Books From Dusk Till Dawn.

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

Oh wow, I am absolutely blown away with this book. Set in the future, but one that is totally believable, big brother is definitely watching every move everyone makes. Obesity is a thing of the past and crime almost none existent. Well it sounds pretty cool to me. Sign me up! But it’s not everyone’s cuppa tea!

When a serial killer discovers a way to go off grid and scratch an itch that has been suppressed for the last ten years since tracking everyone was introduced, all hell breaks loose. DI Clive Lussac and his new partner Zoe Jordan have to investigate with a mixture of new tech and old skool ways to hunt down this killer.

There are some corking characters in this story. Lussac was pure entertainment from start to end. He loves his food, dislikes exercise, struggles with every day life and is the salt of the earth. By the end of the book I was truly fond of this man.

The murders are pretty gruesome but what made them spine chilling for me was how Jem Tugwell, the author, made me feel the thrill of how the killer was feeling. I lived every precious moment they felt and it was terrifying. From killer to victim the balance was perfection. A see-saw of pain and pleasure for both.

There are some superb moments in the book which had my smile to laughing. The cars just creased me up, especially when Clive and Zoe needed just the extra bit of speed. Everything has been thought of in this ‘perfect bubble world’ to keep everyone safe.

A brilliant book, an excellent thriller and 100% entertaining. Highly recommended. Really can’t wait for a follow up! Genius.

I wish to thank the publisher for an e- copy of this book which I have honestly reviewed.
