***
Killing Eve meets Stephanie Meyer's The Chemist in this 'unique' (Heat magazine) debut thriller.
Meet Lex Tyler.
She's a covert operative for Platform Eight, the assassination department of Her Majesty's Secret Service, and one of the very few women to successfully negotiate the old boy's network of the espionage world.
She's smart, resourceful and very deadly - and she's not your average back-to-work mum.
Her new assignment is a high-stakes hit. Her target: Russian oligarch Dmitri Tupolev. But the more she digs into his life, the more Lex wonders if there isn't a different game going on - one in which she might be an unsuspecting casualty.
With her own family now to worry about, Lex needs to work out who is really pulling the strings, before she too becomes a loose end.
In her world, failure is not an option.
'This unique novel is a thrilling ride' Heat magazine
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Coming back to work after maternity leave can be challenging for any mother. But resuming your career as a trained assassin is especially tricky. Lex Tyler is a brilliant female lead: a dedicated and besotted mum who’s fiercely proud of her job in the secret service’s special ops branch. With her tongue-firmly-in-cheek wit (we loved the descriptions of Russian mafia wives!), Asia Mackay has crafted a wildly entertaining—and refreshing—spy yarn.
Customer Reviews
Killing it
A convoluted intrigue!
Fantastic read!
Really enjoyed this book being a new mum myself! Was hilarious how the two worlds were juxtaposed. Absolutely loved it!
Tongue in Cheek 4.5*
Neither the title nor the cover of this book appealed to me and in the normal way I would not have read it. However, the synopsis seemed kooky and rather different and so I decided to go for it. And, I’m glad I did as it was a thoroughly enjoyable and humorous book, very much from a woman’s point of view, so the male reader may find it less enjoyable but overall highly readable. Recommended.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
