About the author
Michelle Grubb
8 books30 followersMichelle is Tasmanian born and now resides in the UK, just north of London, with her wife. She's a fair weather golfer, a happy snapper, and a lover of cafes, vinyl records, and book shops.
Michelle harbours an unnatural love for stray pieces of timber (she promises her wife she'll build her something one day), second hand furniture shops, and the perfect coffee.
She can play six chords on her guitar, stumble through a song on her drum kit, and if you see her wearing headphones, she's probably listening to Mumford and Sons while dreaming up stories and plot twists.
It goes without saying that writing is Michelle's favourite thing to do.

This was fun, but something about the writing style didn't really click for me. No clue what. But it was still decent, if a bit predictable.

Detailed, suspense some thrill and a romance ending.
As much as i love the suspense and details, i do find the romantic ending somewhat unbelievable. All the same, an entertaining read.

'Hammersmith', was a decent read, had the feel of an espinoage tale and set in the underground of the London subway system. The stories told by M16 agent Belinda Reilly aka Bel, she's part of the Hotstream unit, she traveled through the subway system, blending in, observing everyone traveling on the system and trying to detect suicide bombers.
Grubb wrote a decent story that has likable characters, suspenseful full of twist and turns, involves the IRA and Ireland and a little trickery.
The only thing I would change would be to have Charlie Salt, Bel's boss be her love interest, have them sneaking around, and hiding the relationship, due to being against M16 regulations. Especially since Salt and Reilly, form a protection and investigation agency and would have made this one a great introduction to a new series.
