Worth Reading: Yes


Summary: (Taken from www.michaelrobotham.com)

Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal He’s not even a minor one. He’s not a jewel thief. He’s not a safe-cracker. He’s not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting side-tracked by unforeseen circumstances.

Fifty-four hours ago Sami was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he’s carrying a rucksack through London’s West End and has turned himself into the most wanted terrorist in the country.

Fast, funny, hip and violent, BOMBPROOF is a non-stop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heart-warming hero – Sami Macbeth – a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

This is the first of Michael Robotham’s books that I’ve read. I always have trouble with the first book of a new author, perhaps it something to do with the newness of the style of writing to me. I had the same problem initially with Bombproof also, however I ended up getting hooked. It turned in to quite a page turner and I think I may have found a new author to follow. I particularly like the character of retired detective Vincent Ruiz and I notice he is the subject of another book “Lost”.
