This is What Happened - a Novel

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher - From CWA Gold & Steel Dagger winner Mick Herron comes a shocking, twisted novel of thrilling suspense about one woman’s attempt to be better than ordinary. Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice. Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk.

Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero—if she can think quickly enough to stay alive. I love a good, English mystery and this did not disappoint! Wonderfully wicked and twisted it will keep you enthralled for hours on end … do not plan to do anything else whilst reading this book. Totally inappropriate at times I found myself laughing out loud and was sorry when it ended!!! (And hope for a sequel or series of books, please and thank you!!!) Am passing this on to my sister to read! ... Poppy
