Addictively readable
Pacey, claustrophobic and utterly thrilling
A brilliant debut. Breathlessly plotted. Deeply disturbing
Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader's radar - or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb
I recommend watching out for this exciting debut author, a former submariner who knows his subaqueous stuff and has delivered a narrative that will make anyone breathless
If you want a thriller that truly works on every level then Tenacity is for you
A gripping read ... I don't remember being this captivated by a debut novel since Lee Child published Killing Floor ... A stand out read ... 5/5 is a given
A searing thriller ... The claustrophobic drama which unfolds is breathtaking ... A must read for fans of psychological crime thrillers
J. S. Law's taut crime novel oozes authenticity. I read this in a day and can't wait for the next in what will undoubtedly be an explosive series
An impressive debut. . . Law knows what he's writing about, and it shows. The sexist antagonism of the men coupled with the cramped conditions make for gripping, entertaining reading
If Law manages to hold his course into nuclear noir, this series could go for as long as the atom-powered Tenacity
The descriptions are vivid, the atmosphere frighteningly authentic
Outstanding. . . Dark and intense
I would certainly recommend you dive in
Impressive and memorable
A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead. . . J.S. Law is one to watch
Tenacity is absolutely brutal in its intensity and is quite easily one of the best debut thrillers of 2015
Gritty, super-charged with tension and claustrophobically atmospheric, Tenacity is a real page-turner of a read. . . Highly recommended
A searing thriller. . . The claustrophobic drama which unfolds is breathtaking. . . A must read for fans of psychological crime thrillers
Gripping from the very beginning. . . Cleverly constructed, dramatic and tense, it leaves you feeling shocked yet wanting more
In his debut novel, J.S. Law has crafted a thrilling suspense . . . Law ends Tenacity with a perfect segue into a sequel. It can't come too soon
I was gripped from the nail-biting opening chapter right through to the end
