-The Taking of Annie Thorn- CJ Tudor- Thriller/Contemporary horror

Joseph Thorn has returned to his childhood school- this time as an English teacher. He

has orchestrated the move for a reason. Slowly but surely his finds his old adversaries

who appear from the woodwork and he is threatened several times. He had a gambling

issue and there is also someone on his tail for a rather large debt which he is doing

his best to forget about. He has received messages relating to his past and his sister.

Annie died aged eight however shortly before she disappeared for forty eight hours.

He finds that this is not the first time that this has happened and going back over

literally old ground brings back memories and he starts to put the jigsaw together

however there is someone who would rather that he moved on both physically

and mentally. Oh boy! This is my first CJ Tudor book- what a story teller! I was

gripped just a few pages in and surprised myself at how quickly the pages were

turning. In a way I took to Joe as he wanted to find out the truth all the time

knowing he has several layers to him.but a deep down honesty and loyalty along

with acerbic wit. I devoured this and really didn’t want to put it down.

A slightly dark read, possibly airs of being supernatural or horror (but nothing

to give nightmares- just the odd chill if you are not a fan of insects!) .

One brilliant read.
