I was lucky enough to be invited to read "The Saboteur" having previously read and thoroughly enjoyed the first in the series, "The Stranger". Let me tell you that I was not disappointed in the slightest and I was on the edge of my seat and totally engrossed in this book from the first to the last line. I want to reassure you that you don't have to have read "The Stranger" to enjoy this; this can most definitely be read as a standalone.

This book is absolutely packed to the rafters with action and suspense, thrills and spills, tension and twists. The plot is engrossing, riveting and fast paced - I found myself having to remind myself to breathe!

The cast of characters that Mr Conway has created are just fantastic - I literally cheered when the baddies got their comeuppance and cried when people were lost; not many books do this to me.

The ending was perfect and definitely leaves things open for a third - well I hope so anyway because I will be first in line.

Many, many thanks to Hodder & Stoughton for inviting me to read this and, in return, to provide an honest, unbiased and unedited review.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Fifteen years ago, Shelby Pearce confessed to murdering her brother-in-law and was sent to prison. Now she’s out on parole and looking for a fresh start in the small town of Valleysburg, Texas. But starting over won’t be easy for an ex-con.

FBI Special Agent Denton McClure was a rookie fresh out of Quantico when he was first assigned the Pearce case. He’s always believed Shelby embezzled five hundred thousand dollars from her brother-in-law’s account. So he’s going undercover to befriend Shelby, track down the missing money, and finally crack this case.

But as Denton gets closer to Shelby, he begins to have a trace of doubt about her guilt. Someone has Shelby in their crosshairs. It’s up to Denton to stop them before they silence Shelby—and the truth—forever.

This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. Dan Wells is another awesome author and writes this genre and series really well.
I remember after reading the first book in this series, I couldn't handle it and didn't want to read anymore because of how creepy it was thinking about your next-door neighbor that could be the crazy psycho on the loose. Then because I couldn't stop thinking about the book, I had to know what happened next so here I am almost done with this series and I don't want it to end.
He is good at writing this psychological suspense and such that can mess with your head, scare you and suck you in and not let you go until you know what happens and all the answers.
The thing that I come back to a lot with this series is how well he writes this so it creeps me out and yet uses little to no violence, gore, swearing, and such because clean reads are always a bonus and clean reads that creep me out like this are rare.
If you haven't checked out books by Dan Wells, you really should cause you're missing out.
