Brilliant! Having never read Anthony Moscavi before, I was unsure what to expect, but I was impressed, A great, bold thriller with a fantastic narrative.

Sara Eden was born in Scotland in 1980. Her mother died giving birth. Her father was a tourist. This is all Sara knows a out herself. She has a few links to her past and a Polaroid of a stranger with one line written on The ba Kissed: "Don't trust this man".

When Sara Eden was just ten years old, she was found trapped in a water bath which was used as a homemade sensory deprivation chamber. No one knows why asana was pit in there, and Sara's mind had been wiped clean by the process. Her only possessions are, a Walkman, a cheap necklace, a few scraps of paper and a Polaroid of a man she doe not recognise. On the back of the photo there is a warning, "Don't trust this man". Sara is aware she is being persued and in danger but she does not know the reason why. With the MI5 and GCHQ on her tail her memory is starting to come back.

At the beginning of this book the narrative jumps between decades and places , so you have to concentrate really hard so that you can follow the storyline. As the storyline progresses, it becomes a lot clearer and starts to make sense of what you've read. A times the story is a bit far fetched. I've got a feeling that we have not heard the last of Sara Eden. A good debut novel.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Penguin UK - Micheal Joseph and the author Anthony Mosawi for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a good read but not as gripping as I thought it would be.
Sara is found in a house with a drug addict and the only possessions she has with her are a Walkman, a locket and a photo with a man on it. On the back it says do not trust this man.
Sara has no memory and doesn’t know who she is. Taken into care a man and woman collect her and Sara thinks she might remember them, but soon realises she is in danger.
Sara goes on the run, with the intention of finding out who she is and finding her mother.
There is a lot of action in this story but different time periods in different chapters and an influx of characters in the second half of the book, caused a bit of confusion.
Thanks fo Michael Joseph and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

If you enjoy spy, espionage type thrillers you will really enjoy this book. I have to admit that personally I found it hard going in places but I think that is because I don’t read too many of these types of thrillers. If you love them I am sure you will love this book.

Sara Eden is a young girl who is found in a house within a water bath being used as a homemade sensory deprivation chamber. She has no idea who she is and who her family are but she does have a picture of a man with ‘Don’t trust this man’ written on it. Who is the man ?

The book follows Sara’s journey to discover who she is as well as trying to escape the people trying to find her.

A great fast paced read that will keep you entertained. As I mentioned if you love your spy thrillers I am sure you will absolutely love this book.

Thank you to Michael Joseph and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

Edgy, thriller with lots of entrigue and government cover ups and secret squirrel business, what's not to like. Great book for people enjoying Terry Haye's The Pilgrim or Jack Reacher novels

Thank you to netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review. For me this is more spy novel than thriller or mystery, although it does have elements of each. Like many Spy novels before it, there are complex and confusing (for me) story lines. I really struggled with the time line throughout the novel. However this is not to say it is all bad, I like the concept the author has used (view spoiler) The characterisation is really well done and I did stick with it to the end. I might never have picked it up if the word SPY was anywhere in the description but I am glad i did

Have also posted a review at Waterstones

Spannend, mitreißend und bedrückend - eine einfache Geschichte in tollen Worten derart lebhaft erzählt, daß die Handlung wie in einem Kinofilm vor dem geistigen Auge abläuft. Großartig! Mit einer Hauptperson, die über sich hinaus wächst...

Political thriller meets the 'X' Files.is the best description of this novel.

Exploring themes prevalent in the eighties when the main protagonist of this story was born. Government's misuse of people with psychic ability, regardless of the human cost, while not new is absorbing and allows the writer latitude. Not everything has to be believable in a story of this type only possible.

If you are looking for a fast-paced political, spy thriller, you will find this here, with significant twists, Not for the purists but adrenalin-fuelled, intelligent and often poignant,

I received a copy of this book from Penguin UK - Michael Joseph via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I have to admit when I first started reading Trust No One by Anthony Mosawi I was convinced this wasn’t going to be a book I enjoyed. However after a couple of chapters, I found myself drawn into it and was glad I’d stick with it.

Sara Eden was born in Scotland in 1980. Her mother died at birth and her father was a tourist. This is all the information Sara knows about herself alongside a few clues such as a cassette player, necklace and Polaroid.

The story follows Sara as she begins to unravel her past and learns secrets. Fast paced and well written, this book in the end kept me entertained throughout.

If you enjoyed I Am Pilgrim then I think you will like this book. Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin UK Michael Joseph and the author for the chance to review.

A brilliant, clever government thriller.
Sara Eden is found in a tank, a sensory deprivation tank, doesn’t remember who she is, when she is or why she is there.
She only knows her name, that she isn’t to trust anyone and people are after her.

A fast paced ambitious novel with exciting twists and turns, some of it was obvious and some areas didn’t work so well, but over all a good read.
3 stars

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this very strange book

a bit confusing but a military book based in london...it kept me reading as i wanted to know about the little girl and why her memories were taken away...and then there were the bombings and codenames but after carrying on it all fell into place

a bit technical in places but on the whole not a bad story...

Many thanks for my ARC of this book, but I'm afraid I just didn't 'get it' at all. Really not the book I was expecting from the description. The action jumped around too much, there were too many auxiliary characters and there was much that was unexplained. The story was too disjointed to hang together.

Sadly not really my kind of book. Too much action that was a bit far-fetched for me but I'm sure it will appeal to fans of this genre. It was certainly unusual.

A good action thriller. A little far fetched at times however this is what action thriller is all about, think mission impossible and the crazy ideals that provides.
I really enjoyed the mind control element of the book, this was different from most action books I have read lately.
Overall a good read in which one day maybe will become a movie
3.5 stars

I love a good twisty, keep me guessing plot but I tend to prefer them in 'real life' settings. I know a lot will disagree but films like Mission Impossible & Bourne Identity leave me cold (though I love Die Hard and Terminator). I think if you like MI & BI then you'll like this book. It's well written but jumps all over the place and I found myself speed reading through it to get to the end. Not my cuppa tea alas.

This is very much an action book. Not really my cup of tea, but, for those who like this sort of thing, oh my goodness but it's got it all! A little too much to be honest and it's quite difficult to follow at times.

The summary that hooked me was the premise of a young girl, who doesn't know who she is and who only has a few items in order to find her identity. One is a photograph with 'Do not trust this man' written on the reverse.

It starts well, but, becomes fantastical quite early on and continues to blow your mind throughout. I hung on in there but wasn't much wiser by the end. Although, in fairness, there is a reasonable attempt to summarise at the end.

There was such a good idea, it just seemed to get swamped in too much 'stuff'. I would definitely read this author again, just hoping he pares down his next novel. Less would have been more.

2.5 stars from me.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin UK - Michael Joseph for the opportunity to preview this book.

With thanks to Netgalley and Michael Joseph for this ARC in exchange for an open and honest review.

I thought when I requested Trust No One it would be a psychological thriller. When I discovered it was a book about about mind control and the security services I was not expecting to enjoy it.

The plot was not my cup of tea but it was certainly imaginative and never boring. I found the plot ridiculous at times with the then ten year old Sara Eden managing to escape capture from CCHQ. She also had a mobile phone where she typed in a four number code and withdrew a large sum of money from a cashpoint.

However I carried on reading because I liked Sara Eden who had been through at lot for one so young. I was interested in Sara`s search for her mother Phoebe and wanted to know why she tried to erase the past from Sara's mind. I was also I interested in being able to read someone's personality traits from their mannerisms and facial expressions.

All in all Trust No One was an interesting read, the story flowed nicely and I ended up reading 60% of the book it one night. Although I would not read this type of book again, I think readers into military/spy thrillers would enjoy this book.

This book turned out to be not quite what I expected. It was rather far fetched for my liking even though I am aware it is fiction. Because of the incredulity I tended to lose interest. In its favour it is a well written book however

I struggled to get into this book but am glad I persevered. Lots of twists and turns and well written.

A lot of twists and turns in the plot of this book. It is an exciting read. I enjoyed it.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Anthony Mosawi for the advanced copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.
