Reviews: 'Addictive, Awesome, Compelling'

When a Princess Diana look-a-like goes missing just three weeks before the death of the real princess in 1997, suspicions of a conspiracy implicating the UK government, the intelligence and security agencies and the Sicilian mafia begin to unfold. 

Over twenty years later, Jack Compton is a freelance reporter who is on the trail following the murder of Suzanne Camilleri, a fellow journalist on the beautiful Maltese island of Gozo. 

Jack believes that Suzanne, his good friend and former colleague at a now defunct national Sunday newspaper had been in receipt of recent evidence linked to the missing woman which could expose one of the biggest cover-ups in cross-national modern day history. 

Protagonist Jack is out to unravel the Maltese connection and make sense of why Suzanne was killed so brutally. He also needs to watch out for himself.

“If you only read one book this year, make it Mal Foster’s amazing little masterpiece, ‘An Invisible Nemesis’.

“Oh my goodness. I finished reading this book within a matter of just hours. An Invisible Nemesis is a true page-turner. As the reader, I was fully engaged in Jack’s search to discover the truth. I am a fan of conspiracy theories and mystery novels and this is just that - A tale of conspiracy, murder and deeply interlinked characters. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Gozo, (Malta) an island with a fair few intriguing and deadly secrets. What a wonderful read, it kept me captivated until the end. Jack is a fantastic character, a true sleuth journalist. Again a 5* read, and a perfect sequel to Fly Back and Purify.” – Emma Foy

“An Invisible Nemesis is the compelling new novel by Mal Foster that kept me guessing who the perpetrator could be all the way through the book. The story is set in Gozo in Malta which is a place I have never visited but Mal describes the area so beautifully, I felt transported there each time I picked up the book. The main character Jack Compton, gets involved in some interesting and sometimes dangerous situations as he tries to get to the truth of who killed his friend and colleague Suzanne. Jack's reasons are partly professional as he is a journalist and wants to be the first with the 'scoop' but mostly personal as his feelings for Suzanne were so strong. There are some really interesting characters in this story and a lot of humour too. And as is Mal's gift, historical facts in the book are well researched. Well done Mal!” – Annie Wheeler
