Pro Bono
Some jobs just need to be done - even if nobody's paying...
When a friend is accused of murdering her deadbeat ex-husband - a man Meg had on her hit-list for reasons of her own - Meg Harrison sets aside her usual paid assassin's role and takes it on herself to discover what really happened.
But what begins as a routine inquiry dredges up long-buried memories, forcing Meg to deal with the demons of her past, while simultaneously hunt for a man her instincts tell her might not really be dead.
Can Meg reverse-engineer the murderer's scheme and bring down the real killer before her friend becomes their next victim?

Pro Bono is a combination of great action, mystery, and character heart. Here we meet Meg, who is already established in her profession...both of them...when the death of a friend's ex-husband lands on her door. The story launches into not only finding out what happened, but delving into the past and the events that have made Meg who and what she is.
The characters in the story are well rounded and fun all the way from Meg's giant pet iguana to her friend and real-estate agent, Bonnie who steals all the scenes she's in. The mystery is interesting and events allow the reader to see Meg in action, but also to see the how clever she is and how broken...and it's broken in a way that's heartbreaking, but has created who she is.
Content mention: The book deals frankly with memories of child abuse. The scenes are handled tastefully but it can be a difficult subject.

Sometimes the hit lady does pro bono work to help a friend, that doesn‘t make her less dangerous or less ruthless, armed with the weapons of modern information warfare and not shying away from a good shootout, this hit lady knows what she is doing, refreshing take on the hitman concept and believable story and characters.

Interesting book
Meg is quite the complicated character. I will get the rest of these books. I hope the series stays interesting.
