He blows me away with each book.~A masterclass in how to hook the reader and then rack up the tension level to 100~From the moment I read the opening lines I knew this was going to be good.~Very atmospheric and forceful short story.~CSI Collins is a very believable character and certainly has an enjoyable dry wit. His cynical remarks in the lift are just spot on.~The tension builds as we become privy to Eddie's thoughts, fears and anxieties; the claustrophobic setting adding to the sense of menace, as the reasons for the other two's presence are revealed.~Eddie is as world-worn and blackly humorous as ever, a character with such depth.~The three-hander plays out with the vividness and claustrophobic threat Barrett is so good at creating. You, the reader, are there in that lift.~It was real, gritty and gripping. I was in that lift.~Andrew has created a gripping and complete tale which challenges stereotype.
