The real problem with Edge of Danger is that if you’ve read other Sean Dillon books you can probably see what’s coming. The novel starts well, introducing new characters (Ferguson’s cousin and an entire family of villains, the noble and millionaire Rashids) as well as bringing back some familiar faces (Blake, Cazalet, the Salters). However, Dillon saving the day in between diving around and drinking Bushmills is starting to become a bit too cliché. Higgins also spent the second part of the book building a climax and then solved it in half a page in a very unsatisfying way. Not one of Higgins’s best, but overall ok.
What I think about this book is that overall it was one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. It has to do do with the author because he is a well known and well respected one. For me nowdays it is kind of hard to find books that I like. Mainly what i like is books that have an entire series. The reason is because whenever i read a book i tend to like it when it goes on. That way you know all of the characters and then you know kind of what the book is about since the same person wrote it. That's why i give this book a 5 out of 5.
