My review
I have never been there but I love thrillers taking place in Russia. I love the language and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’m a big James Bond fan and the villain is often from that part of the world? I don’t really like science but I love a thriller with a background in the pharmaceutical world. So, I will not surprise you that when I saw the blurb of this book, I was won over straight away.
Before I say something about the story, I havd to add that I adore the cover.
This is the third book in the series and I had no problem at all picking this one up. You can easily read it as a stand alone and of course your interest will be piqued to read the other books as well. I am sorry the hear it is the final part.
I already talked about James Bond (sorry he is a bit of my hobbyhorse) and the type of story is very alike minus the technical gadgets. Here everything is solved in the good old fashioned way and it’s nice to see heroines instead of heroes.
This is a story full of action, but the author also added love and affection to give you a breather in this fast paced and fluently written book. 5 stars.
Thank you, Elizabeth Ducie and RachelsRandomResources.
