Fields' Guide to Assassins

I need mystery, a hint of romance, and a witty heroine. I've found them all in Julie Mulhern's series.

Ms Mulhern is an amazing author with wonderful stories and fully developed characters from the get-go! I love the fact that both Ellison (Country Club series) and Poppy are strong, self reliant women who take care of business and keep moving. This second book in the Field’s Guide series is action-packed, the events could have been taken from todays headlines. Five stars and a bullet for this series and this author!

Vacations normally embrace fun, shopping and relaxation. When you’re Poppy Fields, your vacations usually mean danger, death and intrigue! In Fields’ Guide to Assassins (The Poppy Fields Adventures Book 2) Poppy is back and better than ever as bait to help bankrupt a drug cartel.

Growing up as the daughter of movie star Chariss Carlton prepared Poppy to be comfortable in the lifestyles of the rich and famous and given her access to people and places off limits to normal people. Living in Montana with her father taught her survival skills like riding horses, handling a weapon and target shooting. This background is the perfect blend to make Poppy into the multidimensional woman she is today.

Mulhern’s plot is exciting and intense and you will want to read it in one sitting. Her incredible descriptive writing makes me feel as though I’m right beside Poppy, touring around Paris, experiencing all the magnificent sights and sounds - chases and gunshots, with poor old Jake showing up at random times, having Mark (Thor) as MY bodyguard and while there is murder and mayhem all around her, Poppy acts as though she’s the female version of Bond, James Bond (the Original - Sean Connery - not those silly wannabes!) Bond has his super gadgets he uses for protection. Not our Poppy! She comes with a Hermès Toolbox Twenty-Six in bleu atoll draped over her arm. Contents? Wallet. Makeup bag. Gun. She’s unflinching, unflappable and the most unforgettable woman any man could ever meet! Poppy’s parting words at the end of the book are, “I can’t wait for what comes next.” I believe everyone will draw the same conclusion at the end of this book! I was provided an ARC of this book by the author. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence. I have also preordered a copy of this book for my own personal collection.
