★★★★★ 5 stars
DESCRIPTION:
The bestselling 20 Minute series continues in a very dangerous setting...
Verdicts have been reached, sentences have been handed out and several criminals have learnt their fate. They did the crime. Now they must do the time.
Guards. Prisoners. Visitors. And one very memorable 20 minutes behind bars.
In a place where nobody wants to go, people will do anything to get out...
MY THOUGHTS:
The sixteenth book in this thrilling series takes place one month after the events of "20 Minutes in Court"...and it's not what you'd expect! It's action-packed from beginning to end and in typical Hurst style, a tad OTT whilst being believable. And hugely entertaining.
We catch up with the regulars who have had a starring role in most of the series, many of whom found themselves behind bars for one reason or another after appearing in court just once month ago. There are some who are the loved ones of those in prison while others are victims of crime. And then there are the new faces of various prison staff as well as a couple of prisoners. We get a first hand glimpse when a reporter turns up for an interview with a prisoner to be confronted with something entirely different.
There is complete and utter carnage as a handful of prisoners hatch out a plan for escape, but no one expected things to turn out quite the way they did. All hell breaks loose as the prisoners attempt to, some who should never see the light of day again. But what does it mean for those caught in the crossfire? And how will it all end?
With just four more books left in this thoroughly thrilling and entertaining series, part of me doesn't want it to end. But onwards and upwards to what lay in store for New Year's Eve...and the prisoners still on the loose.
Next...20 Minutes to Midnight
