Crime & Mystery
Blind Pursuit is a very direct title for a very direct thriller. It does what it says on the tin, which is either a strength or a warning.
The opening has proper pace, but I kept wondering whether it could sustain that once the initial push was out of the way. It mostly does, though not every chapter lands with the same force. Still, if you want something brisk and cleanly plotted rather than decorative, this fits.

Direct can be a virtue in a thriller, but it can also leave no place to hide. That’s usually where the character work has to do the heavy lifting, otherwise it starts to feel like a very efficient piece of machinery. Sinclair tends to know the difference. I’d take brisk and unsentimental over padded any day, though not if the book forgets to give me someone worth worrying about.
