Overall score:

I scored this book 5/5

Short Summary of the book:

Book five in the series, brings more danger and confusion to Aidan as she comes to terms with the murder of her husband and discovers his part in an underground team of scientists. Even more confusion follows when her husband contacts her and wants to meet her. What should she do?

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as I did the first four. Will Aidan meet her husband and find out what really happened?

What I didn’t like about the book:

There is nothing in the book I didn’t like.

My favourite bits in the book:

Too many to count, I loved the book.

My least favourite bits in the book:

There were no least favourite bits. The book makes you want to read on and not stop after the next.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

That is the good news, there are 14 more in the series already and I can’t wait for no. 15.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like a tongue-in-cheek spy mystery this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

In her work with a clandestine government agency, Aydan Kelly stumbles across a shadowy consortium of scientists whose members are selling classified information for personal profit.

Aydan wants to report them, but there’s a small complication: her supposedly dead husband... isn’t. He wants to rendezvous with her, but he could be working with the consortium. If she rats on the scientists, her husband will die. But if she doesn’t, the consortium will kill her...

About the Author:

By profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and ex-interior designer. I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the sense to quit the one I sucked at.

To deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure novels featuring a middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.

This seemed more productive than indulging in more typical mid-life crisis activities like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones, and cruising across the country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since it’s winter most of the months of the year here.

It’s much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell, Harleys are expensive. Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.

Oh, and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick with the writing.
