This is an explosive first book from a new writer and as such the story is fresh an invigorating.
Lex is an assassin for a covert part of Her Majesty’s Secret Service and she has just become a mum. The story follows her return to work and the stress involved in trying to balance her job with the needs of being a mother. This is especially fraught with tension given the predominately male environment that she works in and the fact that soon her judgement is being called into question as she tries to plan the assassination of a Russian tycoon.
There are times that the plot is a bit over the top but this can also be said for many other spy novels.
The plot keeps you guessing to the end with a number of twists in the tale. There is also scope for further stories of Lex’s adventures.
