Ten Days is fast paced and engrossing, a political thriller and family drama combined, covering 10 days over a heated summer in London. Starting with a death at the hands of the police the plot includes a political power struggle, an affair, riots and corruption in the police force.

The weaving together of different characters and storylines works really well and I particularly liked the use of police surveillance reports to set the scene and slowly tie everything together. Few of the characters are fully sympathetic, but I found myself interested in all of them and enjoyed the focus on each of their stories.
