Publisher's Summary

High Pressure is a gripping stand-alone thriller from the number one best-selling author of Little Bones and The Dark Room, Sam Blake.

As temperatures soar across Europe during the hottest summer for 40 years, a series of hoax terrorist attacks is generating panic in London. Then a bus blows up on Oxford Street, and the hoaxes have suddenly become real.

Student Brioni O’Brien has been desperately trying to contact her older sister since she unexpectedly returned early from travelling, so when Marissa’s bag is found near the site of the explosion, she fears the worst.

Teaming up with terrorism expert Anna Lockharte to search for Marissa, Brioni discovers that her sister got herself into a very dangerous situation - and now she and Anna could be caught in the fallout.

Disappointing

I expected an Irish crime drama but what I got was wildly overwritten domestic fiction. I had figured out who, what, when, where, and why about one-third into the book, and what was left were too many banal cliches and a narrator, whom I normally adore, butchering American accents and male voices with a very odd vocal affectation. This has been my only experience with Sam Blake and I'm afraid it will be my last.
