Reviews

"This book is a real Page Runner - from beginning to end full of action. The story is constantly in a new direction that is unpredictable. The protagonists are shown alive and the dialogues written with a big dose of wit. The loose style of writing of Robotham this book is a real pleasure to read.

Conclusion: If you like action and a rapid sequence of actions, is the right place for this book. I highly recommend it! "

" [ ... ] The thriller has not reinvented Robotham. [ ... ] Robothams novels owe their power, however, the narrative style. He tells a story that is not just, but his characters tell their story. [ ... ] There are many small details with which this author endows his characters lovingly. He is by no means loving relationship with them in order, but expected them to be quite a lot. But so awaken the characters before the reader's eyes to life, he lives and suffers with them - and therefore often sees once across the conventional plot. "

"Adrenalin is blowing through the head. In the United Kingdom Michael Robotham regarded as a new Thriller star. And rightly so. In brilliant dialogues he twisted the old story of the man who has to prove his innocence by catching the culprit, new:. Than that of the psychotherapist who has put his professional prejudice - or breaks "

" Michael Robothams debut thriller Adrenaline is consistently well done and has great entertainment value. The mix of excitement, the black humor of the narrator and powerful irony give the thriller a special touch. The British [sic ] author captivates with its history, its writing style and his exceedingly great characters from the first to the last page, even though the final was a bit disappointed. "

" The Australian author Michael Robotham is super smart to design a master in the art, hopeless situations. His second book is dodgy, romantic, pure thrill. "
