Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.
I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.

Something tells me ALFIE GOES TO THAILAND will be a fast-paced, gripping read. This one sentence alone is pulling me to read this book: One man’s resurrection is another’s good luck.
Intriguing even before the beginning (adventurous and isolating title). Excellent sequencing format.
