Description
Something's happened.
A lot of things have happened.
If she could turn back time, she wondered how far she would go.
Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice.
Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk.
Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero - if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.
This is What Happened by Mick Herron is a gripping tale of suspense and courage, showcasing how an ordinary person can make an extraordinary difference.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
This is What Happened by Mick Herron is praised for its ingenious plot and deadpan wit, reminiscent of authors like John le Carré and Ruth Rendell. Readers appreciate its psychological depth and surprising twists, described as both unsettling and masterfully crafted. Herron's dark humour and the compelling narrative make it a gripping read, engaging enough to lose track of time.
