??? Strap in for the latest novel in Burrows' Who's In Control? thriller series ??? London. A massive explosion leaves 11 people dead, hundreds critically injured and one man in a deep coma. David cannot speak. He cannot move. He cannot see. But he can hear. The police are desperate for answers. Hospital doctors need to save lives. The media are in a frenzy. And politicians want to make the whole thing go away. Amongst the noise and fierce disputes around him and his future, David discovers the truth about what really happened. It is worse than anyone could have imagined. What he learns could bring justice to the victims. But who was really to blame? If you're willing to have your your beliefs and assumptions rocked to the core, then close the door, turn on the bedside light and strap in for this page turning read. Find yourself immersed in another claustrophobic thriller, from the award winning author of Portico and The Illustrator's Daughter. Locked In is the fifth book in Gideon Burrows' Who's In Control? series. For Portico “Portico is a thought-provoking thriller. I’m already casting the film version in my mind.” ????? Goodreads “Pacy, thrilling, suspenseful and complex to keep your attention… this is a must-read for anyone who likes intelligently-written thrillers – political, techno, or otherwise.” ?????

The synopsis of this book sounded absolutely amazing, and then I get into the book. It would have been a wonderful story except for the fact that the story was lost in politics right from the beginning. There‘s also a host of trigger warnings that should have been applied to the book, but weren‘t. Trigger warnings include but are not limited too racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, child abuse, terrorism/hate crimes. I had to DNF this book

I thought it was going to be a thriller about who committed the bombing, but it was about more than that. The author covers some weighty subjects: homophobia, historic child abuse, & a person's right to die with dignity. The ending is also rather abrupt, but overall, I did like the book enough to download one of the earlier books in the series. 3.5🌟

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, BooksGoSocial, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
