Deadly
She's an elite spy, working for an agency so secret only three people know it exists. Trained by the best of the best, she has honed her body, her instincts, and her intellect to become the perfect weapon.
A deadly parasite has infected several people in the city of Chicago. But they were only the test subjects; a psychopath's experiment before unveiling his real plan.
Chandler's mission is simple: execute the CDC researcher who released the parasite before he unleashes it upon the entire city, and possibly the world.
But things are not as they seem, and the mission does not go as planned.
Hang on tight. Things are about to get deadly.

My first read of any of Ms Sharp's work is a nice re-immersion into Joe Konrath's and Ann Voss Peterson's Chandler character and story line.
I felt I was reading a younger version of Chandler than I was used to, and it was a real treat.
This earlier Chandler has the training and instincts, but also much of her initial uncertainties expressed in a reluctant innocence. After all, what self respecting assassin wants to admit to being afraid, or unable to hide being turned on (smiles).
A good example is, "'Aw, I'm all warm and fuzzy now. Later Tater.' I ended the call and clipped my cell back onto my panties...." - satirical and playful and all business, all at one time!
Another is, "I was in mid-air and then dropped onto my butt so fast, I didn't have time to make any cool, trained operative moves." - I thought that was pretty neat. Self-aware, unpretentious, joining action and internal thought. Nice!
There's also plenty of fidelity to Chandler's pre-Fleming relationship with Jacob, and there's also some nice scene parallels to the Chandler novels (sniper above on a hill and going into an underground bunker) but taken in a whole other direction. Gave me a little surprise with a touch of recognition. Very nice.
All in all, highly recommend for exactly this review's title: Fast, Cheeky and Fun.
