"Just a whole lot of fun to read, great thriller novel, the local references are very fun too!"
Jonathan Kent
"I held out hope for this book, but when I got to the 28% mark and the main characters STILL has not begun solving the actual mystery, I finally had to put it down. Waayyy too many unrelated tangents and background. "
DC
"For a suspense novel, the crime in Hornet's Nest really takes a back seat to the main characters' everyday problems. This reads more as a bad TV drama than a crime novel. Cornwell jumps between characters way too often and goes into too much depth for minor players. By the time the climax arrives, it seems rather anti-climatic, and the deus-ex-machina ending is very abrupt."
