MY REVIEW
In my view, RUN TO THE BLUE by PN JOHNSON, is the crime book of the year! This is one of those books all crime lovers need to read. I particularly loved this story as I love reading about fictional marriage problems. I found this page-turning book really gripping with its interwoven themes with a gangster and marriage in crisis. Tess Anderson is a star reporter on the news, with interviewing people from prime minsters, to stars and victims. Tess even secretly filmed a gangster, Ken Lean murdering one of his victims. It’s come to the day, Where Tess is in court to watch gangster Ken Lean be sentenced to prison. Unfortunately just before Ken Lean’s court case begins, Tess has an important message to see her boss. Steve gives Tess some devastating news. Her husband Seven who is a celebrity marriage expert, is having an affair with an MP, a member of the Cabinet, who is one of the most powerful women in the country. Too add to the upset Tess is being followed by someone. Tess is sent off packing to Greece, for her safety by her best friend Jane. But will Tess be safe in the villa in Paxos Greece? Surely no one will find her there!
