IndieReader Discovery Awards Verdict
“SMART delivers in droves—Mentmore writes terrific prose and dialogue that truly dazzles.”
IndieReader Discovery Awards are announced towards the end of May, but the panel are publishing pre-award verdicts – here’s their verdict in full:
“Joel Mentmore’s SMART, clever, quick, and pithy, is the rare novel that is fantastically contemporary, a nightmare of technology that is doubtless chilling even weeks after reading. A high-tech thriller that is both a mystery of heart-stopping suspense and the tale of a perplexing, ambivalent male friendship, SMART delivers in droves—Mentmore writes terrific prose and dialogue that truly dazzles.”
What if your smartphone really wants to kill you?
SMART now available in paperback as well as eBooks (Kindle, Kobo, iBooks etc).
