Rating 4.3/5
Lex Tyler is the mother of a young daughter who juggles her work as a secret agent for Platform Eight with the daily trials and tribulations of being a wife and mother.
I stumbled across "Killing It" very much by chance - it was effectively in the Amazon equivalent of the "Bargain Bin" and I needed a book to read. The synopsis made me smile and the supporting celebrity quotes were (as always) encouraging. So, I decided to give it a go, but I had no great expectations ... How wrong I was! It is witty and intelligently written and shows great imagination as it introduces us to Alexis (Lex) Tyler - a lady capable of matching James Bond in all aspects of his professional work, but while coping with the mundane rigours of real life too!
This may have been an accidental find, but as soon as I finished reading it I immediately put in a pre-order for Asia Mackay's follow-up.
