Amazing first novel.. Spy thriller featuring Sara Eden who has no memory of her childhood. Found in a hovel with cheap necklace and few clues to what her history is. As an adult she become obsessed with knowing her history. What she discovers is a horrifying government project her family was taken over by. They continue to search for her years later. This page turner kept me reading for hours. Excelllent characters and complex plot.

Very clever idea. Very well written. I am interested to see how this series develops.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

A different type of thriller involving families with special abilities which the intelligence service try to hone for. their own purposes.
Really enjoyed how the main character developed and the unexpected twist.

Very clever and very well written but just not for me I'm afraid. I think the differing timelines threw me somewhat and lost me a little along the way.

X-Men, Brit style. This story takes an unexpected direction that works out rather well.

I am not a fan of sci-fi or fantasy and hadn't expected to be wandering close to the borders of that genre in this novel, but luckily the author keeps a sufficiently tight lid on it that you don't need to be a conspiracy nut or wearer of tinfoil hats to enjoy the story.

This fast paced thriller is a compulsive read that is difficult to put down. I love feisty heroines and Sara Eden certainly fits the bill. Her traumatic childhood certainly makes the reader empathise with her, even though she appears to have super human powers. She would be a good match for Sherlock Holmes! It is a well plotted story though a little far fetched in places. There were a plethora of secondary characters and I felt that the ending was a little rushed. Certainly it was open-ended so there is ample scope for a sequel. Thanks to NetGalley and Michael Joseph for a copy of this e-book in exchange for an unbiased review.

When she was ten 'Sara Eden' was found in a home-made sensory deprivation chamber. With her is a cassette repeating 'My name is Sara Eden', a cheap locket & a picture of a man with "Do not trust him." written on the back.

Who is this child? Why would this be done to her? The story switches timelines quite a bit which can be confusing. When I read the start of this book I wondered why I had picked it as military actions and espionage are not my usual reading of choice. However I was soon intrigued by Sara & wanted to find out her real identity and why so many people in important place are intent on getting their hands on her.

This was not the easiest of reads. At times I felt like giving up but the lure of, like Sara, finding the truth kept me reading & all in all I'm glad I did and I will be interested to read the sequel.

Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

Trust No One by Anthony Mosawi is a thriller about a ten year old girl who when she is found by the police and social services has no memory of who she is or where she is from. She is in fear for her life and will do anything to find her mother.
There is a lot of action and espionage in this book.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Michael Joseph for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

I felt quite dissatisfied with this book while reading it but now I'm finished I can't wait to see what happens next. The plot moves quickly and the author is quite sparse with the context and characterisation. It really really shouldn't work but it does.

Trust No One involves Sara Eden who at the age of 10 is found by the police and social services in a bath acting as a sensory deprivation tank, no one knows who she is and apart from a cheap necklace and a photograph of a man with the words 'trust no one' written on the back she herself has little memory although she knows she needs to find her mother.
This book romps along with MI5 and GCHQ all looking for her, why is not made very clear for a while. It was an entertaining enough read with some very good descriptions and action, but I must admit to being very confused in the beginning and when I arrived at the end was rather confused again, I'm presuming there is to be a follow up, hopefully with more explanation at the beginning and without the confusing backward and forward timelines.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly.

This one wasn't to my taste I'm afraid. Nothing to do with the standard of the writing, but it felt like a really long Bond movie to me, albeit one with a female Bond. I like the idea of super-assassins and layers of intrigue, but this came off as derivative and I kept finding myself thinking 'oh this bit reminds me of that movie or this video game or the other novel'. The ending is set up for a sequel which is another pet peeve of mine, since I feel cheated of a real pay-off because it's been sacrificed to the lure of another book in what is hoped to become a lucrative series.

This was an unusual choice for me as I don’t normally go for this genre. However, I enjoyed the personal and emotional elements of Sara’s story and found the characters to be believable and the resolution satisfying from Sara’s point of view.

Trust No One is a book that requires concentration to truly take everything in and because of that it did take me longer than normal to read this book.

Sara Eden is a girl with incredible powers that she doesn't truly understand. For that reason she finds herself being hunted down by the government for unbeknown reasons. However, going over her backstory we become aware that at just ten years old Sara was found abandoned in a memory deprivation chamber with no idea who she was but with a strange feeling that she was in danger.

Flipping between various timelines this book does get slightly confusing and I found that all the military and government speak went completely over my head. But the idea and the concept was a somewhat intriguing read even if I didn't completely understand what was going on at times.

I felt that the open ended ending in the book would lend well to more books in the series and I probably would read it just to see what happens next.

I have only read some of this book, the book seems really good but it not what I normally really there to much milatry activity in this book for me but if you could take that out then I think it be a really good read

It’s 1993, ten-year-old Sarah is found in a homemade sensory deprivation water bath. The only possessions she has with her is a Walkman, a locket and a photo with a man on it and on the back in her mother’s handwriting it says do not trust this man. Sarah doesn’t know who she is but, she knows people are looking for her. So, she goes on the run, with the quest of finding out who she is and finding her mother.
There is a lot of action in this story and if you’re into spies and espionage, this is the book for you. I like the premise of this story. I was totally engrossed in the first half but, as the story went on. There was a lot of different characters in this story. That got a bit confusing and I thought the story lost its way a bit and sometimes unnecessary.
Thank you Netgalley and Michael Joseph for a copy of this book.

Where do I start? At the beginning, right? Well, in this case, No. I put this book down and abandoned it several times. In all it has taken be nearly three weeks to complete it. To be honest, it was worth finishing it, if only to make sense of the beginning of the book.

A ten year old girl is found trapped in a bath in a kind of sensory deprivation tank. Her name is Sarah Eden and she has no memory and is attempting to live off the grid to avoid the men chasing her. As the plot unfolds we learn more about Sarah, her history and the people chasing her. At the same time we are introduced to the authorities’ plots and schemes to capture her and various battles and conflicts. . It all feels a bit dystopian particularly in the descriptions of the buildings etc.

Is it well-written, yes? Is it clever, very? Is it intriguing, yes? So what was wrong with it for me?
Far too complicated, differing points of view and random encounters. Complex technology and altered time didn’t help me much either.

Sorry, not for me although I do admire the skill, imagination and determination to produce such a book. I am sure there will be many avid fans.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for providing an ARC via my Kindle in return for an honest review.

Very good, the characters were interesting, and I can see this could be start of a series. Recommended.

This was a fast paced, twisting and edgy thriller with dark overtones - just how like them. I usually work things out well before the halfway point but this kept me guessing until the end. I found the dual time lines to be well handled and the ending was very satisfying. A great read.

What can I possibly say about this most excellent book except buy it, lock yourself away from everything and read it.

If I were to explain why I loved the book I would have to include spoilers, which I hate, and so my review ends here with the reminder to buy it, lock yourself away from everything and read it.

A thriller with a difference. An interesting concept and good idea but I felt Trust No One lacked depth. To me it felt like the start of a series rather than a stand alone book . Whilst not really my cup of tea, I do think it would make a great film or tv series
