The Rook

The Rook

Synopsis

The body you are wearing used to be mine. So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions in a series of letters her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of an MI5ish secret organisation called the Chequy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain (who knew?). She also discovers that she possesses a rare, potentially deadly supernatural ability of her own. In her quest to uncover which member of the Chequy betrayed her and why, Myfanwy encounters such wacky folk as a person with four bodies, an aristocratic woman who can enter her dreams, a secret training facility where children with bizarre traits are transformed into Chequy operatives, and a conspiracy more vast than she ever could have imagined.

  This is an action packed, fast paced, suspenseful and frequently (and unexpectedly) laugh out loud funny supernatural thriller.
  
  I loved all the characters, goodies and baddies, as well as the weird and sometimes disgusting things they do... And like MrsVince I'm hoping for a sequel.
  
  Once you start you'll find it hard to put down, so wait until it doesn't matter if you've been up all night reading. Perfect escapism, great fun.

  I loved this book, could not put it down. Very cleverly written, the characters are described beautifully and the story line kept me thrilled to the very end.
  Am hoping for a sequel!
