Live reporter Rose has landed a real coup, an interview with the Chancellor straight after his budget. However, as she starts her questions she is shocked to hear a voice in her earpiece telling her that her wife and child are being held captive and she must ask the questions that she is told to by them. Olly was a quiet boy from a troubled home but when he meets a charismatic politician he is excited about his future. Zoya is a rising star but she has a terrible secret that could make her show more lose her job.
The premise of this book is great, I loved the idea of a live interviewer being forced to ask questions to an agenda under threat. There are some great ideas in this book and overall it's really exciting towards the end. However it flounders a bit at times, the Zoya storyline goes nowhere and just seems an add-on. Some of the characters are a little too stereotypical eg the 'super head' or not explored further. However overall I did really enjoy the story and it is promising as a 'celebrity' novel. show less
