Customer Reviews

Rollercoaster ride of a book

Andrew Grant's book does not read like a debut novel. You'd think a seasoned author wrote this one. I couldn't put it down. And wait until you read the ending...it will leave you wanting more from this talented newcomer.

Fun Debut

This book is a lot of fun if, like me, you're a fan of the good old-fashioned slam-bang secret agent thriller. Andrew Grant drops his hero David Trevellyan into hot water in the first scene, then keeps turning up the heat in classic Ludlum-esque fashion. But Trevellyan's more than a match for the array of adversaries against him, and his fight to find out just WTF is going on provides all the guts and glory a thriller fan could ask for. Good stuff. Keep 'em coming!

Killer Debut!

I love finding a new author who is obviously going to have a long career ahead. Grant starts both the action and the mystery right from the first page and never lets up. Trevellyan is intriguing and was difficult for me to figure out at first, but I like that. He's no cardboard cut-out, and clearly neither is Grant. His writing style moves you quickly along from New York to London and Iraq. I've read a lot of mysteries, but this adds a new element for me with all of the espionage, and now I'm looking around for more of the genre until the next Grant comes out. Killer thriller, and I'm ready for more, please.

Stellar Debut

Fast-paced and unique, EVEN introduces a wonderful new character, David Trevellyan. EVEN rocks along relentlessly, it's a read-in-one-sitting kind of book. I can't wait to read more from Grant, he's breathed new life into the private spy thriller. Just great!

EVEN engages from beginning to end!

I'm normally not a thriller reader, but this book was recommended by a friend, and I'm always looking for exciting new authors. Mr. Grant did not disappoint! I was immediately engaged and closed the book wishing there were more for me to read. EVEN is chock full of details which helped me step into the shoes of David Trevellyan as the story began to unfold. The other characters in the book, including the streets of New York, were well designed and helped move the story forward. I had no idea how it would end until it did. I'm a big fan of not knowing what's coming around the next corner, and Mr. Grant kindly accommodated my need. Mr. Grant's work will inevitably draw comparisons to his brother, Lee Child, but he has his own voice that you'll want to listen to very closely.
