Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks upon a dangerous journey that will take her from the East End of London’s to Amsterdam’s murky red light district and into a violent underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation.

Entertainment Rating: 9/10

Yet another absolutely amazing book by Michael Robotham, it’s been a while since I managed to read two books by the same author back to back without loosing interest or finding too many similarities between the storylines. I loved ‘The Night Ferry’, once again I found myself being drawn into the chaos that Robotham had created for his main character and you can’t help but feel like you are stood beside them every step of the way.

More than once he managed to shock me with a twist in the story line that just made it impossible to stop reading. I don’t have much else I can say other than what a fantastic writer and I highly recommend that everyone reads his work because if you haven’t yet you are really missing out on something great!
