"When I assessed a street, looking for threats, I glossed over the women pushing prams. Harmless. Irrelevant. Invisible. Now I saw them everywhere."

Her mission? Infiltrate a group of West London mums to get close to the wife of her target. Russian oligarch Dimitri Tupolev.
Her secret weapon? Her baby daughter, Gigi.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think it deserved more accurately 3.5 stars as dictated by my rating system, which is mainly because of the lack of diversity. Although what I really loved about this book is the representation- Mackay has hit a goldmine with this brilliantly fast paced, action packed and witty book. In a never seen before character of a thriller (a mum) and the reason why I rounded off is because she really killed two birds with one stone with character and plot combined- a mother returning back to work after maternity leave! Truly the representation is very accurate and all weaves naturally in with Mackay's witty and clever voice.
