My Review:

I was passed a copy of Underground Murmurs to proofread and was immediately struck by the characters Deane and Olsen. They are intelligently written, complex characters and the perfect opposite to protagonist Akira.

The storyline is gripping and well written; it held my interest well. This is the first book in the Akira & Deane series, but also reads well as a stand alone novel. The plot builds nicely, each chapter adding something more; another detail to keep you turning the pages. 

Thanks to author Tim Jopling for providing me with a copy to proofread, it certainly kept me entertained!
