Today I’m joining the blog tour for Borderline. My review is written with thanks to Zoe O’Farrell for inviting me on the tour and to the author for my copy of the book.

Blurb:

When the system isn’t working, work outside the system.

A search for a missing man thrusts Rand Scott into the dark realms of homelessness, drug dealing and sex clubs.

Kirsty Moore wants to find her brother Johnny, a one-time rock star.

The police also want him – for murder.

And there are others looking who don’t play nicely.

A simple job turns deadly as Rand uncovers a world where money talks louder than the screams of innocent bystanders.

Review:

Graeme Cumming has been on my radar for a while so I was pleased to finally be able to read his work. It was absolutely worth the wait! Borderline is a fast paced thriller with guns, fights and surveillance and I was on the edge of my seat wondering who would come out on top.

The protagonist of Borderline is Rand Scott, a really interesting character whose back story is well developed without ever feeling like the information is too dry. He clearly has flaws, but overall I warmed to him and wanted him to succeed. 

Alongside the high octane story, Graeme Cumming also shines a light on some important issues in society, such as homelessness and addiction. I love how he writes about vulnerable people with such care and compassion, and this adds an extra layer of complexity to the characters in this novel as well as giving the reader some interesting things to think about

I understand that Borderline is the beginning of a series. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing how the characters grow.

Borderline is available from Amazon.
