The Lowdown – The Chain by Adrian McKinty

Posted on the 04 September 2020 by Booksocial

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!! For those who have home schooled the last 6 months we salute you. As the new normal continues to take hold why not join us in reading our Book Of The Month, The Chain. Our #Lowdown all about it is below:

Pretty Damn Fine

The Chain first came to our attention when Theakston Old Peculiar announced it as their crime novel OF The YEAR. Yes Old Peculiar is a beer but they also sponsor a pretty damn fine Crime Festival that takes place in Harrogate every year (not in 2020 alas but then what exactly did run in 2020?) McKinty is a former Uber driver and if the blurb is anything to go by we’re in for a pretty damn fine book of the month in September.

The Chain – the blurb

YOUR PHONE RINGS.

A STRANGER HAS KIDNAPPED YOUR CHILD.

TO FREE THEM YOU MUST ABDUCT SOMEONE ELSE’S CHILD.

YOUR CHILD WILL BE RELEASED WHEN YOUR VICTIM’S PARENTS KIDNAP ANOTHER CHILD.

IF ANY OF THESE THINGS DON’T HAPPEN:
YOUR CHILD WILL BE KILLED.

VICTIM. SURVIVOR. ABDUCTOR. CRIMINAL.
YOU WILL BECOME EACH ONE.

YOU ARE NOW PART OF THE CHAIN

Join Us…

We will be sharing our Big Review of The Chain on 25th. A series of Book Club questions will also be around for you to answer on 23rd. Don’t wait until then though, we would love to know your marks out of ten as soon as you have read it. So grab your copy and read along with us.
