The often-blurred lines between dreams and reality can leave us all second-guessing what we think we believe. I do enjoy a smart suspense novel, especially one that's been imbued with British terminology and wit. I look forward to checking this one out!

I have never read a book with UK grammar in it; it might make for an interesting book. The main character's story seems to be quite entertaining as well, including the cast of characters that assist him. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

The plot of this novel seemed to have complexities. But if I am to read this book, I would focus on the character of Philip. Anyway, this book sounds nice.
