Summary

Tomorrow should be the greatest day of Erica Stroud-Jones' life. In just 24 hours this brilliant young scientist will present her secret work to a conference in Amsterdam - research that promises to revolutionise the battle against a deadly tropical disease. Millions of lives could be saved; a Nobel Prize beckons.

Arriving to watch her are sceptics and rivals, admirers and enemies. Erica's own eyes will be on sculptor Max Carver, her American new love, to whom she will dedicate her achievement.

Tomorrow never comes.

Erica vanishes during the night. Max, desperate, terrified, sets out to find her, descending into an underworld full of malice and cunning. But even he is shocked by the dark terror he finds in the heart of the woman he loves.

Discover the massive number-one best seller that thousands of readers have said is the most addictive, page-turning novel of the year.

Complicated

I found the two parts quite distracting...not at all my normal choice of story . It was also puzzling .

Intriguing Plot

Exciting double scenario. Little difficult to follow all the names as they were European or African and a real twist at the end but overall good narration and just needed concentration . Altogether a fantastic plot

Another great story!

Reading this in April 2021, when lockdown was coming to a tentative end again, I thought this book had been written within the last year. to hear it was written more than a decade ago was mind blowing. The story is brilliant, and well narrated. I can't wait to read more from Nick Louth.

Good book but ...

I like to listen whilst I’m out walking - I found it quite difficult to keep up and know who was who!! I got the gist of it anyway but I may have to listen again.

Unpredictable action.

Great action-packed story. As usual with Nick Louth books, you think you've guessed what the outcome will be, but there's always a twist that you didn't see coming. Excellent story and characters.

Confusing

I found I had to keep going back a couple of chapters to work out what was going on and who was who. Not sure I ever understood the whole story

Good story but still..

This is a good story. But it's not gripping. Because there is far too much narration for my taste and too little action. Even the end, there is still a lot of explanation. Personally I do prefer British English. Didn't like the American accent of the reader.

Did not live up to expectations

Nick’s first two novels had been fast paced and suspenseful and I had eagerly awaited this third book. The story line was promising, but alas I don’t think the different time zones worked. I found the hero rather dull and the story was slow moving and not very suspenseful. However, this has not put me off this author and will happily return to the next Detective novel, the first two having been great.

Gripping storyline

I loved this book. It’s not always easy to listen whilst doing other things, like I usually do. There are three separate stories going on and lots of characters. I had to rewind a few times. This didn’t stop my enjoyment and I would highly recommend. Excellent narration too

Complex, educational, exciting great story

The amount of research for this book must have been phenomenal. I learnt a lot about mosquitos. There are a lot of characters that make up this fascinating story which is very original. The narration was superb. I enjoyed Nick Louth’s writing so much I will read more books of his. A great read
