About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Three hours to save the people you love.
A Top 10 Sunday Times best seller.
Three hours is 180 minutes or 10,800 seconds.
It is a morning's lessons, a dress rehearsal of Macbeth, a snowy trek through the woods.
It is an eternity waiting for news. Or a countdown to something terrible.
It is 180 minutes to discover who you will die for and what men will kill for.
In rural Somerset, in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens: a school is under siege. From the wounded headmaster in the library, unable to help his trapped pupils and staff, to teenage Hannah in love for the first time, to the parents gathering, desperate for news, to the 16 year old Syrian refugee trying to rescue his little brother, to the police psychologist who must identify the gunmen, to the students taking refuge in the school theatre, all experience the most intense hours of their lives, where evil and terror are met by courage, love and redemption.

"A brilliant literary thriller...moving, masterly, flawlessly orchestrated." (Sunday Times)
"Three Hours intersperses scenes of breath-sucking tension with stirring meditations on human nature.... The message Lupton's novel delivers is that only love can save us." (Sara Collins, Guardian)
"This could so easily be a story which spotlights evil and terror. Instead, it deftly weaves a message of courage, love and redemption, and Whelan's performance is absolutely electrifying." (Stylist)

Nail biting thriller, great writing and narration
Another great read by Lupton, this book is tension filled from beginning to end. She gets you to care about the characters and makes you think about current issues such as the treatment of immigrants, discrimination, teen depression, school violence etc, but not in a preachy or heavy handed way. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

What was all the fuss about?
Award winning ? Really? Best book of ... really? Scratching my head over whether I was listening the same book.
Nope , found it to be contrived, unbelievable and oh soooo woke....
