East Of Hounslow by Khurrum Rahman
Jan. 13th, 2018 12:57 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Meet Jay.
Small-time dealer.
Accidental jihadist.
Or the one man who can save us all?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Khurrum Rahman’s debut thriller (the first in a trilogy) is worth a read if you can get past a series of plot contrivances that at times made me raise my eyebrows, mainly because Jay has a great narrative voice and a lot of potential but also because Rahman paints a believable picture of the British Muslim community and its members (both good and bad) while a cliff hanger ending made me want to know what happens next.
EAST OF HOUNSLOW was released in the United Kingdom on 30th November 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
