The Oxford Photograph by Tony Thistlewood is a tantalizing mystery featuring terrorism and intense drama. Prime Minister Nancy Melville is under fire after receiving a handwritten note that suggests an impending nuclear attack. In a climate where numerous murders are being committed and no one seems to have a clue about the killer, and where the presence of a radical preacher could incite a new form of fanaticism, the Prime Minister is under great pressure to take control, but can she be trusted? And who has sent the note? Who is behind the imminent terrorist attack and who are they targeting? Most of all, what has an old photograph taken at Oxford University have to do with anything? This is a powerful blend of thriller, investigation, and mystery; a work of great talent and imagination.
The Oxford Photograph is a novel that will thrill many readers. The writing is clean, punctuated with humor, great dialogue, and enticing suspense. I was hooked from the first paragraph: “…little about John Kater was real: his slicked black hair, greying at the temples, was not real, and nor was his salt and pepper moustache. Even his slight limp was faked.” Immediately the reader wants to know who this character is and what role he plays in the story. The sense of mystery is introduced with this character, and the reader, upon meeting him, has the feeling that there are not going to be any easy guesses. And that is right. Tony Thistlewood is one of the masters in the storytelling craft with the uncanny ability to woo readers and keep their eyes glued to the pages. An engaging plot with compelling characters! Irresistible. Great writing.
