Siege (2012) is an unexpectedly brilliant read. There is no shortage of suspense, thrills and terror at every turn of the page. Kernick has successfully created an atmosphere which is both tense and frightful and manages to capture the imagination of the reader to the hilt. I cannot help but think that the book would make a great British television crime drama. It is exceptionally well-thought-out and well-written. One little niggle is the paucity of words and the short chapters which reminds me of James Patterson but it does not deter me from the enjoyment of the book as much as I have had with his previous books. Siege makes for addictive reading. I highly recommend it and look forward to the author's next book.
