" McDermid's] work is taut, psychologically complex and so gripping that it puts your life on hold."--The Times (UK) "Masterfully handled, and McDermid's ability to wrong-foot the reader remains second to none: highly recommended."--The Guardian (UK) From one of the finest crime writers we have, The Vanishing Point kicks off with a nightmare scenario--the abduction of a child in an international airport. Stephanie Harker is in the screening booth at airport security, separated from Jimmy Higgins, the five-year-old boy she's in the process of adopting, when a man in a TSA uniform leads the boy away. The more Stephanie sounds the alarm, the more the security agents suspect her, and the further away the kidnapper gets. It soon becomes clear nothing in this situation is clear cut. For starters, Jimmy's birth mother was a celebrity--living in a world where conspiracy and obfuscation are excused for the sake of column inches. And then there are the bad boys in both women's pasts. As FBI agent Vivian McKuras and Scotland Yard Detective Nick Nikolaides investigate on both sides of the pond, Stephanie learns just how deep a parent's fear can reach. And the horrifying reality is that she has good reason to be afraid--for reasons she never saw coming. "The Vanishing Point . . . is marked by McDermid's] trademark stunners, including a climax that packs a vicious punch. And readers are again left to marvel at her ingenuity."--Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch "McDermid knows crime, but more importantly, she knows the dark side of men and women and the havoc they can wreak on each other's lives. . . . The Vanishing Point is a stand-alone and does it ever. . . . Th e] opening is shocking, edge-of-your-seat unnerving and violent on different levels. The reader is immediately drawn in by Harker's overwhelming panic and fear. It's taut, smart, vivid writing."--Victoria Brownworth, Lambda Literary (online)

Great for Entrepreneurs
Format: Kindle
This two in one is great for anyone who is looking to start their own business. The chapters are easy to read and the book really starts from the beginning vision to the small details and legalities. This is a great resource to have in your library. I will definitely revisit this.

The basics of building a business
Format: Paperback
This workbook is a companion piece to the book of the same name. It takes a start up entrepreneur through all the initial barriers to start up, methods to overcome barriers and fundamentals of starting up a business. I like the way it starts at the beginning of developing a vision and mission statement and continues to walk you through defining your ideal customer, goal setting, developing a unique value proposition and a business model canvas. It emphasises the importance of a SWOT analysis and having a sound financial plan. I like the way the workbook provides space for you to work through your own thought processes and financial plan for getting your business off the ground. It is a sound method to use for a person beginning their business journey to make sure they cover all the vitally important steps to starting their own business.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL
Format: Paperback
I can't even give this one star, but I had to put at least one. SUCH a disappointment!! It says "workbook" and it is nothing of the sort! There are 34 pages of "content" which is almost useless. Just about anyone going into a business would know what's there. Don't waste your money!!
