"This can be read as a political thriller with an anti-establishment theme or be looked at and evaluated for its social commentary."
In a world run by people who fuel division, the circumstances of one woman are about to change everything. Judy innocently takes up what seems to be an exciting acting opportunity but leads her to be drawn into a world of trafficking by power hungry players on the lookout for secrets to exploit. But they’ve picked the wrong person as Judy becomes a spearhead for change.
An interesting political thriller that has an almost satirised establishment and shadowy organisations. What begins as a group of traffickers for the wealthy well-known as a way to gain power and leverage becomes whole government and public systems operated by those intending on causing and manipulating division - “cancel culture gone mad”.
Judy is a wilful main character, hardly fazed by the circumstances she finds herself in, and always fighting back against those out to capture or punish her. This can be read as a political thriller with an anti-establishment theme or be looked at and evaluated for its social commentary. There’s moments of irony - coach loads of protesters arriving on the farm to shout about protection of the environment and animals while thinking nothing of the vehicles they travel in or the abrupt killing of one of those animals.
It’s a thought-provoking tale of a troubled world stacked like a house of cards and the events that could bring it all crashing down.

The Turning Point is a story about our troubled times and how so much of the apparently inexplicable nature of what is going on, seems to have a common source. It is, I suppose, a kind of political thriller, or perhaps you might call it an anti-establishment thriller. It was initially about the trafficking, for political ends, of a young American girl, but Judy quickly took centre stage and my sketches went out the window.

This is a good storyline which although it's set in the future, feels very relevant to today. It's quite a complex plot and the author is to be applauded for not confusing the reader with all the twists and turns. My only (slight) criticism is that in parts it is a bit wordy. Otherwise I'd definitely recommend this book.
