The Undead Part 1 by R. R. Haywood

The book focuses on the first three days. 

Howie son of Howard, is a night manager at a supermarket. During the day, he is forced to attend a manager's meeting. This means he doesn't need to work the night shift. It's a rare Friday night off. All day he has been hearing about random attacks in Europe, on the radio, and on TV. Small snippets of information are gathered before his attention is stolen. 

This book is fast with characters you'll love or hate (like all of R. R. Haywood's books). Howie wants to check on his mum and dad. He steals a bike. This gives us a view of a disseminated town and highway. They have gone looking for him, so he heads back to his place. He stops in at his old workplace and runs into Dave (not David) one of his night shelf packers, and together they head to London to find Howie's sister. 

Along the way, there are many battles and many discoveries. 

For instance, during the day, the zombies move slowly with stiff joints. But at night, they growl and awaken into high speed killing machines. 

Part one ends on a cliffhanger. Luckily I bought a pack on 1-20. Already halfway through Part two.
