Ingrid Skyberg FBI Thriller #2
Kill Plan
A serial killer has a plan ... and Ingrid is part of it.
A banker is found dead at his desk in the City of London. Then a heavily tattooed body washes up in the Thames. Now someone is after Ingrid. At first these crimes seem unrelated, but they are all the work of an audacious serial killer working on both sides of the Atlantic.
Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg, the FBI's criminal investigator in London, is one of the toughest agents ever to come out of Quantico. She's resilient, resourceful, and a bit of a renegade, but she's never been tested like this before. With no help from her colleagues at the US embassy, Ingrid is running out of time to unmask the killer before he strikes again. But she can only do that if she can stay alive.

Kill Plan by Eva Hudson 12/3/2021 Kindle
I took on my second book in row in this series even after having some doubts about the first book. This one begins with the death of a American working as a London banker, killed at his desk. Other bodies follow but my mind wanders as I try to keep up with character I’ve failed to like very much. I especially disliked the main character’s relationship with her peers and superiors. Much of what she did, in my mind at least, lacked logic. I’m sorry but I found the book not sufficiently interesting to read on with the rest of the series. I did finish this installment but can’t say I recommend it to others.

Ingrid Skyberg is an FBI special agent assigned to the London Embassy and when a US citizen is found dead in a brokerage house she becomes involved with the investigation although the local police are not all that happy to have her around. She has a few friends on the force and they managed to trade info. What she eventually uncovers is a long standing vendetta by the son of a jailed ponzi scheme against those that put him prison. Even Ingrid becomes a target of the killer. My first by Eva Hudson and I have another in the wings to read.

It is early days in London based in the US Embassy for Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg. Then a US citizen employed in a US based bank there in London collapses and is found dead, and Ingrid is called in to investigate what appears to be a medical event leading to the fatality. But this is far from the facts of the case and leads to a lengthy and interesting story of the investigation which has numerous twists and turns before the case is solved.
Coupled with her personal problem with her fiancé, the intrigue of the case makes this story difficult to put down.

The concept of an FBI agent stationed at an Embassy was different. Don’t know if it’s true or not.
I get a wee bit tired of her uncooperative attitude with the Met. I rather like Angela Tate’s persistent interference.
I’m a sucker for mysteries and usually plow through the good, bad, and boring.

another great one! love the series
Ingrid is determined. This is not her case and isn’t even a case when she starts out. Fast paced, she is following up on the murder of a trader who dies after washing his hands in the bathroom. We meet her fiancé when he comes to London. He should have stayed home for his well being. Loser! Looking forward to the next in the series!!

Too much ego
I find Ingrid's pattern of charging ahead, going solo, and not updating her peers or superiors to be frustrating. To do so occasionally would be understandable, but this Is a pattern she repeats in every story.

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as first however i will keep going with the series

'Amusing; directed at a certain age group and gender..' Well that's my opinion, indeed I can't understand why I read it except it came to me for nothing.
Ingrid is a young woman with the disadvantages of most young women: very few people take her seriously. So, overcoming that problem is enough work for her. I'm not sure that this was intended by the writer, however she herself is probably of a similar age and gravitas to her character so she can hardly avoid writing like it.
I'm not at all sure that the FBI would give someone like that so much freedom and responsibility; but, that's story telling, you can get away with whatever you please really.
Hudson is a good writer for young women, that's my opinion. I'm an old man so it really wasn't for me and you should take that into account. I read the book at super speed in a few hours: that's an indication of its complexity. And don't be misled into thinking I don't read softish stuff like 'chick-lits', indeed I do: I have read many and found them great fun - among my favourites is Marian Keyes; and there are several others.
So as a younger person, read and enjoy.

Another great outing for Agent Skyberg.
Ingrid Skyberg is an FBI agent who came to the UK to have time to think about her relationship with her fiancé Marshall.
The story starts with Ingrid called to a sudden death of a US citizen who is a high flying trader. No one can understand why he’s died as it looks like a heart attack but Ingrid senses there’s more to this then it appears.
Marshall calls Ingrid to ask her to check something out for him which he won’t tell her about but this leads to yet another death which Ingrid starts to dig into.
More deaths happen which seem to Ingrid to be entwined together but why?
Whilst investigating deaths in the UK as well as the USA Ingrid decides to look for an apartment instead of staying in the hotel which she’s been in for over 5 months whilst she’s been living here.
Ingrid shows what a good agent she is despite losing one on her watch but saves another and catches the bad guy.
There’s great cohesive between all the characters in this book.
Can’t wait to read the next outing for Agent Skyberg and her friends.

Nice, fast read. Not too much romance.
The case was very straightforward, no real twists or surprises. A should-have-been twist with the last killing was too obvious to surprise.
Ingrid also acts again most times alone, just asking other people to supply information, not very realistic (as in the first book).
For a short read recommended, also the romance goes in a direction I really like, but also I thought this would be the direction even in the first book.
For a break between longer and better books recommended.

If you want a synopsis of the plot, please look above.
KILL PLAN is a wonderful adventure, full of twists and turns, that I couldn't put down. While Ingrid continues at the embassy, her life becomes a little more complex which helps fill out her character and left me wanting more. I was sorry when the book ended and I'm looking forward to the next book.
I received an advance copy of this book for my honest review.

Great follow up to the first book in the series. Ingrid is strong, beautiful, tough, resourceful and you get to see her use all of her resources in Kill Plan.
I loved book 1 (Fresh Doubt) and book 2 (Kill Plan) followed up strongly. Can't wait for book 3 to see what adventure this FBI agent has on the foreign soil of London.

I love Ingrid! She epitomizes the frustrations faced every day in bureaucratic roles. She has a keen sense of right and wrong, and I feel a
sense of compassion with her desire to maintain her independence from others. That Clayborne fellow needs a damn good slapping!
Looking forward to the next episode.

Very good thriller.
Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg is strong character, like the exchanges, interactions between them. Local London police officers are helping and sporting her every way they can. Good short book to read in one day.

The format sucked! It looks to me like they hurried to get it out as soon as possible and left WAY too many typos to be professional. But, the book was good.
