This is a new author for me. I really enjoyed the book and it was hard to put down. I liked the characters and how real they seemed and all the problems they ran into. It made me think that people should be aware, or beware of who they are working for and whether they accept orders blindly that they feel are questionable, and they could or shouldn't do. The book is well written, fast paced and full of action, danger and suspense alongvwith twists and turns and murders and mayhem. I especially liked the ending.

Another good one!

While I found the beginning chapters confusing with each chapter introducing a different character, once I got into the story, I was hooked! I am so glad I found Barbara Nicholson’s books, and can’t wait for the next one!
