He arrived on the scene with his highly acclaimed debut novel The Business of Dying, and his big breakthrough came with his novel Relentless which became the bestselling thriller of 2007. In the second novel of the series A Good Day to Die, Milne is living in the Philippines under an assumed identity. A good short story , infact very short but at 49pence I suppose that was to be expected , I have a feeling we have met the female character in this book in a recent Kernick novel . Then he wrote a second book which became a huge tome of 700+ pages, and it was also unreadable, except for one chapter, that he kept.

After the initial promise of this wonderful character, Simon Kernick did what very few authors have ever done and wrote about someone else. British author Simon Kernick shows every sign of being a major talent…Powerful prose, tight plotting and a clever fair-play puzzle add up to a remarkable first effort. Wealth, good looks, a beautiful wife and children and, in the chaotic world of British politics, a real chance of becoming Prime Minister. After writing the book, Simon sent it to an agent who initially was interested in it, but the agent straight out rejected the story. It is written in short punchy chapters and packed with twists including one major jaw dropping twist at the end.

He also started working as a computer salesman at the IT and Business Consultancy Metaskil plc in Aldermaston, Berkshire in 1998, where he remained for several years. I was looking for something to get my teeth into just before I started another large novel, this was perfect.

DI Ray Mason who Kernick introduced in The Witness is approached by the boyfriend of the disappeared girl and his lawyer but before Mason can get the full story, they are both murdered. Although I worked out where things were going very quickly, I still had a lot of fun watching the specifics of how everything came together. An emotionally punchy domestic noir blended with the pace and action of a high-octane thriller, WE CAN SEE YOU will keep you breathlessly on the edge of your seat, wondering which character you can trust, if any at all, until the final brilliant twist! But things don’t go to plan and Ray is soon on the run again and there is only one person he can trust. I was very quickly transported to the Caribbean, to a beach bar, where we meet our characters of the book.After getting reporter Emma Neilson to help, he finds out that the murder involved people of great influence and provides for interesting plot twists and excitement. One of the killers from the previous books has risen up the greasy pole and is likely to become Prime Minister.

Although it is a short story, I really liked the format of the chapter changes entitles him and her.In Simon Kernick’s debut novel The Business of Dying, we are introduced to this fascinating individual. In the end, and after a few near misses he solves the crimes, but is forced to leave the UK with a fake passport and a new appearance.
