This was a real rollercoaster of a read. I loved it. The premise isn't particularly original but the author really pulls off an action packed thriller.

Sara has a unique ability, she can see into people's minds just by touching them or a photograph. As a youngster she had come to the attention of MI6 who were keen to harness her power. When her mother discovers what they have planned for her she takes Sara and her brother into hiding for many years. Now an adult, Sara has come in from the cold and is working of GCHQ. When a bomb goes off at London's Victoria station, Sara establishes a link to the possibility of more explosions. It becomes a race against time to track down the other perpetrators.

Really well written and frantically paced this was a real page turner. The characters are fascinating, the mysterious Sara, the cynical Waterman, Head of GCHQ, his enigmatic boss Salt and MI5 officer Riz who becomes Sara's partner. The interplay between them is enjoyable reading.

If you are looking for a relatively quick read full of spooks and agents, pressure and politics this is really one for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Michael Joseph for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In Harm's Way is a page-turner of a thriller set in contemporary London. Sara Eden offers her unique services to GCHQ and Robert Waterman is tasked with being her handler. Aa sceptic at the pinnacle of his career, Sara has to prove herself to Robert in the most difficult of situations. Packed full of acronyms you might need to google, these don't detract from the fast-paced storyline and interesting characters.
With thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my ARC in return for an honest review.

Sara Eden didn't have a conventional childhood , her mother hid her away from the government group that would have wanted her because of her special ability , to see things that were going to happen before they happened .
As she is now a grown woman she has joined these people to try and and avoid the horrors that she sees happening . Unfortunately this involves her going to the places as these events unfold to try and trace the people responsible as she sees what the victims saw . An exciting read which twists and turns along the way leaving you wanting more. Not going to reveal any of the plot lines as it would ruin the story for others.

An interesting story with a difference. Sara has the powers to enable her to see events in the future, getting visions from touching people or photographs. She assists the GCHQ boss Robert Waterman and his boss Salt with a number of terrorist attacks in London and Cambridge, having also been trained in combat.
An enjoyable read and I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed the book, as I am not usually drawn to this sort of character. I would love to read a follow up if there is to be one.
Thanks for the opportunity to read this book.

Sara can see things in the future from touching photos. Recruited by GCHQ she minimises the loss of life in a bomb plot in the Hague. When a bomb goes off in London she uncovers more and the race is on to stop others but also discover why. There could have been more at the end but otherwise would really recommend,

Sara is a clairvoyant. Chalk, the outgoing head of GCHQ has recruited her after years of looking for her (her mother was clairvoyant and worked for a time in intelligence during WWII). Waterman, the incoming director , is initially sceptical, his world is data and computers. However she seems to know stuff she really couldn't and he can't afford not to use her insights. She proves her worth by minimising the loss of life in a bomb plot in the Hague. Then there is a bombing of a London station. and, Sara intuits, more to come. The search for the bombers, and their motivation, is on and there is plenty of tense action. Well written and a good read.

A strange tale of a woman with powers to see events past and future by touching individuals or possessions or even photos! Rather stretches the imagination as her early history is revealed as her mother tries to escape the state secret services with her daughter and brother. Brought up to date the prophetic Sarah Eden assists GCHQ as suicide bombers go to work in London and Cambridge. The tale races along ending at Porton Down research station providing a satisfactory conclusion but the final chapter leaves the opportunity for more mind stretching to come.

The elevator pitch of Anthony’s Mosawi’s latest novel In Harm’s Way would be something like: Stranger Things meets Spooks. One of the main characters has powers of precognition and she is being run by the British Government Communications Headquarters, aka GCHQ, to help it neutralise terrorist threats. That main character, Sara Eden appeared in Mosawi’s first book Trust No One but no knowledge of that book is needed to enjoy In Harm’s Way.
When the book opens, Eden is being tested. Robert Waterman, the head of GCHQ has been tipped off to her by his boss Salt. Eden has come forward offering her services but Waterman does not believe that she has the abilities that Salt says she does. So Eden is put on a police operation which involves rave parties and missing girls. When she is successful, but injured, Waterman puts her on a potential international terrorism job. But soon the risk has come much closer to home and she has to join forces with MI5 (without revealing her powers) to track down some domestic terrorists.
Sara’s powers are hard to pin down and seem to be: whatever the plot requires. When the book opens it seems she gets her visions from touching people. But soon she is also getting visions from objects associated with people and then, when the job requires it, from photographs of people. It also seems that what she can see is a potential future and when she inserts herself into that scenario she loses the ability to know what might happen to her. None of it bears thinking about for too long, it is a case of either buying the premise and going with the flow or not bothering in the first place.
In Harm’s Way is a fairly ordinary thriller made slightly better by the inclusion of spooky mind powers. Sara, does not only have powers but is trained in combat which allows for some fairly intense fight scenes. The conspiracy is an interesting one and Mosawi builds the tension well. Besides Eden and Waterman, a fairly large cast of characters is introduced, including potential MI5 love interest Riz and his compromised boss Shaw and Sara’s slightly less powered brother. But not much is done with them giving the impression that Mosawi has a series in mind.

"In Harm's Way" is probably best defined as a political thriller. This is partly because genres are blunt and clumsy -because it's not a perfect fit for that definition either.

The opening chapters? I thought it was heading towards more of an action feel. Then, well then it tried to go a bit more suspenseful but it seemed like it could become a little too fantastical instead. But, despite the somewhat muddled build-up, the writing was good and I found myself wanting to see how Sara's story developed and just what character emerged.

And then the story found its rhythm and I found myself more invested than I expected. Although ultimately, Waterman became the more interesting character in my eyes. Perhaps it was about expectations. As the story developed his role came into focus and took on a new significance. It worked well for both the protagonists - making him more interesting while also reigning in the potential pitfalls of Sara's arc. It gave them both room to develop some depth and become more balanced.

The character development also allowed the plot to mature more gradually. The more I read the fewer pages remained to wrap up the storyline. This wasn't going to be a big Hollywood ending, this was going to have to deliver some proper plot twists to wrap it all up - and yikes it did. I think it's safe to say that Mosawi delivered one of the least expected reveals I can remember reading, and it sealed the strong identity of the book in doing so.

You could probably read the first few chapters and finish the story off in the style of a nice summer blockbuster. But that's too easy. What we get instead is more involved. Little tweaks here and there ensure that you always have something to be thinking about. There's always a slight gap that allows the reader to reach into and explore. That's what I enjoyed about it. I think books like this shine when they approach a reader with respect, and that's what I found here.

Very good. This reminded me of Killing Eve, in a good way. It was fast paced and well plotted.. I would recommend this.

“In Harm’s Way” is a fast moving espionage thriller with a difference. Sara Eden is an unusual agent who is given to GCHQ boss Robert Waterman. His mentor and boss, Salt, wants him to use her to solve intelligence problems thus proving her worth by using her unique skills. However in the course of the story Waterman discovers some problematic information about Salt and he is not sure what to do.
Meanwhile Waterman and Sara get caught up in a series of terrorist attacks which they are desperate to stop before many more civilians are killed: this forms the basis of the main plot of the book
Sara Eden’s background is gradually revealed by flashbacks but I am sure there is a lot left for another book. I would like to see the professional relationship between Sara and Robert developed in subsequent novels and I would also like to read more about the possible love interest between Sara and Riz, the MI 5 agent with whom Sara begins to work.
I liked Sara’s hidden powers as they added an extra dimension to the novel to make this a slightly more unusual spy thriller. The sub plot of a traitor within the organisation was also interesting and when the final end game of this was revealed I definitely had not guessed the outcome.
This was an enjoyable and pacy read which held my attention from the beginning and I recommend it as an action packed and fun novel. I’m certainly hoping that there will be a second book featuring these characters.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my arc in exchange for an honest review.

An interesting take with a thriller of a different sort. It took me a while to buy into it (never was a lover of flashbacks) but the more I progressed the more absorbing it was. Our main character , Sara Eden, is a unique talent that must be both hidden but utilised, with skills that are not only immediately called upon but also with potentially far reaching effects. This story revolves around a presumed terrorist act that escalates into something far more sinister, closer to home and with others imminent! The usual jockeying for position amongst the various agencies involved serves only to hinder not help as it becomes a race against time for the final act - and the reasons for it.
A good read which may make the author see his way clear to follow on.

Wow I really loved reading this book. I hope that the author will write a sequel or turn this into a series. I enjoyed Sara and Robert and how they interacted with each other. I also enjoyed the fast pace of the story and how Sara didn't hold back when something was required of her.
Anthony knows how to keep the reader glued to the pages. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and well written. I enjoyed pretty well everything about it. The characteres were interesting, original in the case of Sara Eden. I thought the story was clever and interesting and the interactions of the different characters were clear and well drawn. I would highly recommend this.

Ok, so overall I enjoyed this book. The concept, the electrifying pace of events, made me look forward to picking it up again , and I really liked the GCHQ element of the storyline. The use of an unique individuals skills was an interesting addition to the normal thriller/spy novel. However, there were a couple of things that left me disappointed and one in particular, which irritated me. I think that a lot of the background of the main protagonists I felt was underdeveloped, and I personally would have enjoyed learning a little bit more about what led them to this point. So to the itch, the main character, is portrayed as a highly skilled, long trained, and deadly combatant, who has since being a child lived with her gift/curse, evaded those that wished to exploit her, and has the ability to pretty much lay anyone out that challenges her. I bought into all of that, but within minutes of meeting/ teaming up with an MI5 operative (who is known to to have a way with the ladies) all of her prior abilities and cognizant traits seem to go out the window, as she is struck by a desire to have a physical connection. I felt it was a bit of unnecessary and while it may have been attempt of showing her as human, with needs, it didn't sit into her profile. Anyway, regardless of that, I enjoyed it, and I think others will. I look forward to the next instalment.

Very creative story line, not like anything I have read in the past. Really enjoyed this book, great character development, excellent description of emotions, superb action sequences, will make a great series, can’t wait for the next book. Highly recommend.

In Harm's Way by Anthony Mosawi is a pacey thriller that features psychic Sara Eden who is reluctantly recruited by GCHQ boss Robert Waterman to help prevent terrorist attacks before they happen. When there's a major incident with multiple deaths he pushes her onto an even more reluctant MI5 in the hope that her powers will track down the perpetrators.

I have to admit that I'm not a fan of books involving the supernatural and my heart sank once I realised what Sara's "special skill" was, however I still found it an entertaining and easy read with some good twists and red herrings. The plot isn't predictable , quite often things are not what they seem and while it's not one for those who want the realism of someone like Gerald Seymour it's a good light read.

I didn't find out until I finished this book that there has already been one Sara Eden book, "Trust No One" ,I can tell you from experience that there's no need to have read that book to enjoy this one as there's enough back-story to let the reader know Sara's background.

An enjoyable read with plenty of action and some good surprise turns in the plot ,I can see this being a long-running and popular series.

A fast paced thriller which I devoured in a couple of days. An outstanding, if unusual, read. To me Sara Eden was a new contemporary star of the thriller genre. So absorbing was 'In Harm's Way' I looked up the author, Anthony Mosawi and found there is an earlier Sara Eden thriller 'Trust No-one', which needless to say, I immediately ordered. When I read that Anthony Mosawi had been a Paramount executive for seven years I realised why reading 'In Harm's Way' had been such a very visual experience. From the beginning I could see the story in the context of a TV series such as Unforgotten or Line of Duty. An outstanding gripping read full of nail-biting incidents. I thoroughly recommend it.

A fast moving thriller, a story about terrorism with a difference. The new ‘asset’ has unusual skills which reveal information which would normally be unavailable. Initially unsure about this, I found myself identifying with the main characters and very keen to pick up the story again. The devastating terror attacks prove to be linked and the undercurrent of betrayal in the ranks of the investigators keep the story moving along.
It is certainly a bit different, but thoroughly recommended.

This thriller got off to a slow start but was soon compulsive reading, as the story sped along from one explosion to the next, and as secrets and plots were uncovered..
Sara Eden is a woman who has an unusual gift. She is reluctantly taken under the wing of Robert Waterman, head of GCHQ, and put to work to prove her usefulness, when it appears that there is to be a terror attack.
The story moves quickly into top gear as Sara’s talent becomes clear, and as various agencies vie with each other to solve the problem.
My only complaint is that I would like to have heard more of Sara’s back story which was barely covered, I felt that had been added as an afterthought

There is a likeable cast of characters, as well as the main protagonists, and I look forward to hopefully meeting them all again.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read this book.
