SEVENTEEN reinvents the hitman novel. It's a cinematic rollercoaster, full of authentic emotion and high-octane action. The tension explodes off the pages; John Brownlow is a master of suspense
A gripping debut thriller from a British-Canadian screenwriter and it keeps readers on the edge of their seats through a roller-coaster ride of high-octane action that builds to an explosive finale
Pacy
A slick, clever, edge-of-the-seat thriller
This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax
Fresh and entertaining . . . it is no surprise it has been snapped up by Hollywood
This is probably the most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year, with short busy chapters where conspiracies unfold at the rate of a particularly sharp shooting pistol dispensing bullets
This high-velocity thriller seems destined for the big screen... thanks to British-Canadian screenwriter-turned-novelist John Brownlow's vivid imagery, ultra-detailed action sequences and elaborate plotting.
'Exquisite writing... the dialogue is pitch perfect... a book club title that is different from the usual --- grittier and very powerful'
Brownlow tells the story with verve, wit and a good dose of cynicism from Seventeen's first-person perspective. His perhaps greatest feat is not letting the reader even question this lack of distance: We are trapped in the head of a killer - and we enjoy every moment.
Reads like a winning Amazon Prime Thriller pitch . . . utterly gripping from get-go
The book takes off like a rocket . . . Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows
The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable
