Thank you Netgalley ,HarperCollins UK Audio | The Borough Press for the audio Arc of Havoc
Narrated by Maggi-Med Reed

Havoc is a slow to medium twisty thriller with a psychological edge. This book follows a shrewd 81 yr old women who has turned her back on her old life and begun a new one in Luxor, Egypt. Don't be fooled, this shrewd women gets under your skin, meddling in everyones lives. Until she meets Otto, a 8yr old boy. Who may just beat her at her own game.

It's not often I come across a satiric psychological thriller that I like but this was the bomb! Christopher's writing style balanced the character building and the dynamics between other members that are also staying at the hotel superbly. The humour within plot direction was well placed and made me laugh even though it was bordering inappropriate. The pay off at the end was well timed and poignant. You can't go wrong with a twisty thriller with an unreliable narrative!

4.5 stars for Storygraph and 5 stars for other review sites.

This left me feeling a little uncomfortable, because surely I should not be entertained by someone threatening death and violence on an 8 year old....
Yet I was!
This is actually a very entertaining read, Maggie comes across as slightly unhinged from the start, but increasingly unreliable as the story goes on.
As for Otto, he seems a right one.
Fun, and a little bit twisty.
I raced through it.
