Another superb action thriller from the talented pen of Jack McSporran.
A list of agents as been stolen and their names are gradually being made known.
The group with the list have a demand that their boss, in detention, be freed and returned to them
It's not just serving agents on the list, it's retired agents too!
The first has died and more have been attacked, including Maggie Black's partner Leon.
Maggie is drawn back to serve in the unit, she has the expertise to to help deal with this group and get the "Hit List" back.
But the stakes have just got higher!
Second novel in the series (there are few excellent novellas too)
Clichéd by now I know but if you like Jack Reacher, "Gunny" Swanson, Mitch Rapp and the likes you will love this book and this series.
Get buying!

Just when now former agent Maggie Black thought her troubles were done, a quartet of suited operators approached her with a demand that she leave with them. really if they wanted her to chat, there were much more sensible options.
She relieved one of the downed operators of his ringing phone to hear the voice of a former boss of hers - she really should have known to dial direct.
A leaked list that included the names of Maggie and her closest friends, human traffickers and terrorists run amok.
another day at the office for Maggie - when she thought she was finally done with the gig.
Maggie and her friends try to turn the situations to their best, but is there really a moment when it is all past? When every horror of betrayal is truly at an end?
the next exciting installment - with more clearly to come ahead!

Hit List is the 2nd Maggie Black thriller but not to worry if you haven't read the 1st as it can be read as a stand-alone, it's exciting fast paced and if you are into 007 this could be for you only this is a feisty female version. From the previous novel, Maggie ( a secret agent) has resigned from the employers and is on holiday sunning herself when she has been tracked down by a couple of agents from her agency asking her to go back. At first, she refuses but when she finds out that the agency has been hacked and a hit list has been drawn up and agents are dying, and she finds out that her on/off lover is on a mission and cannot be contacted and the agency has been told he is the next on the list. Can Maggie with the help of another ex-agent find him alive, Explosive well written and definitely a winner

Jack has done it again. He had us sitting on the edge of our seats from start to finish with this one. I was chewing my nails down to nubs trying to figure out what was going to happen next. You can just never tell what Maggie and the gang might be up to and what might happen.
This one is packed full of action and suspense and you just couldn't tell what might happen next. I was worried about who might or might not survive this one. Of course, you never know till the end how things are going to turn out and that is what I love about Jack and his books.
I will be eagerly awaiting his next book. Maggie and the gang are always in the back of my mind. I see something happen on a TV show and thing, awe man, Maggie and the gang could have done that so much better...LOL

Wow! I finished a Gray Man book today and listened to this one, all in one day. Amazing what you can do while you’re doing a hobby you love and listen to Audible at the same time. AND both books were on human trafficking. They were both very good too.
This was the second book in the Maggie Black series. Now, this is a gal that can kick your ass. And that’s one of the things I liked about her. I also liked Leon, and the funny Ashton. And I was glad Grace was okay, and the bad guys were all arrested. I cant wait for the third book, due out in May.
There was off page sex between Maggie and Leon and the F-bomb was used 4 times.
As to the narration: Lucy Brownhill did another great job on the voices and emotions in the second of this series.

I am so enjoying this series! In this second installment, hackers have acquired the list of the Unit's agents and their whereabouts. The group is routinely releasing the name and mission of each agent to blackmail the Unit into releasing its leader from prison. Maggie Black who has walked away from the Unit and its work is now drawn back in as past and present agent's names are on this list and her life is again in danger. It's interesting to read Maggie learning to work with her friends, yet I am stunned how any of these people can recover from serious, life-threatening injuries so quickly and so well. I'll take in Installment No. 3 and see if the double crossing ex-agent Nina can be neutralized after escaping in the first book.

Great book and narration (audible revie
This was a great story and story line and plot. I really enjoyed it. Lots of action, bad guys kicking butt and is non-stop. Always something going on.
I really like Maggie Black and all the secondary characters, especially Ashton. Great Series so far and I am looking forward to the next book.
As for the narration its great! Lucy Brownhill does a fantastic job on all the voices and accents. She does a great job with the male voices too. Great reading voice and reads with emotion.

Ex unit operator Maggie Black’s European vacation vacation is cut short by her ex supervisor. The audit has been hacked and a sex trafficker has all of the Unit’s agents and missions and agents are being killed. Maggie has to look up old agent friends and find a way to stop the mayhem. Story line is not unique but the way it’s written along with the cast of characters leads to a non stop action packed thriller that I guarantee you will not be able to put down !

An enjoyable addition to the Maggie Black series, which sees Maggie jet off to a whole host of new locations in order to save the unit. Narratively I felt this book was weaker than the first, with a number of predictable outcomes. The chapters which narrated deaths of superficial characters were vastly lacking and in some respects seemed out of place in the way that they deterred away from Maggie. Notwithstanding, I enjoyed the book and laughed out loud at a number of aspects.

Jack McSporran did it again with another great book about Maggie Black. If you want a book that is action packed and suspenseful from beginning to end this is definitely the book. I couldn’t put the book down once I started it. I didn’t want the story to end. Well done Jack and can’t wait for the next book.

I've read this series from the beginning and I must say these books have really taken on a whole new life. I love the interactions between all three major characters and there's background yet to come. The "Maggie Black" books are loaded with action, plot lines galore and growth that can only lead to even better stories to come.

The long awaited sequel and it was well worth the wait. Maggie has left the agency after being betrayed and is vacationing when she is summoned against her will back to London. The agency has been hacked and someone is systematically killing agents, and where is Leon? This book starts at pace and doesn't slow down well written with a number of twists and turns and a quite unexpected ending!!

I received this book as an ARC read. Jack McSporran did it again with another great book about Maggie Black. If you want a start to finish action packed book filled with suspense and non stop action this is the book for you. I couldn’t put the book down and didn’t want it to end.

From page one to the end another action packed thrilling read from the author with twists and turns throughout.
Hopefully not the last we hear from Maggie even though she's supposed to be retired (I doubt it as her talents are always useful)
Keep em coming we need more Maggie.

Maggie and the team are captivating from page one in the second book of the series. I love how they are developing as characters, how they are interacting with each other and how the whole thing makes sense within the story line.
Can’t recommend this book enough.

Jack sure keeps the action coming! Great series. I am not sure which set of books should be read first. I read the case files first and once I started Kill Order, the stories flowed well. However, I hope there will be more books!!

Yes this was another sit on the edge
Truly enjoyed reading this . The suspense kept me turning the pages , really hope for more of Maggie and Leon also Ashton.

I don’t read much, but I read the entire thing in under 48 hours. Action from the start, and takes you on a rollercoaster ride of countries and encounters.

This book is an excellent sequel to the the first book in the Maggie Black series which I previously read and thoroughly enjoyed. I wondered if the next in the series would be just as good. The answer...It's even better! It draws you in from the very first line and I was hooked from first page to last, so much so that I read this in one sitting.
You do not have to have read Kill Order, the first in the series, as this book is fine as a stand alone novel, but if you don't you will be missing out as it will enhance your enjoyment of this book. I can’t recommend this book or indeed the whole series enough.
Fully deserving of a 5 star rating.

This has been my favourite in all the Maggie Black series so far.
Full of fast paced action and non stop guessing of what would happen next. It was superb.
I loved getting a look into other agents lives too.
Bring on more Maggie Black.
