"Your mission, should you choose to accept it …"
Tom Cruise's 5th outing as IMF (no, not the International Monetary Fund) agent Ethan Hunt, with the star risking life and limb in a film series that, improbably, each seems to be better than the last (with, maybe, a slight blip for M:I 2).
Disavowed by a government oversight agency, Hunt is on the track of a mysterious anti-IMF organisation known only as The Syndicate (with that organisation previously hinted at in earlier movies) and first encountering Ilsa Faust, eventually culminating in a show-down in London.
Well worth a watch.

Jaya’s Second Treasure Hunt Hits Close to Home
Jaya Jones has yet to live down the fame of her first treasure hunt when a man walks into her office with a second treasure map. This one appears to have the location of a treasure in San Francisco, but it’s the connection to Jaya’s family that peaks her interest. The map was drawn by her great-granduncle. A dead body only complicates Jaya’s quest. Can she stay alive long enough to learn what is going on?
I always enjoy finding a twist on the murder mystery theme, and this is a good one. The treasure hunt is as important as figuring out who the killer is, and between the two, the pages fly by. The twists get bigger the further into the book we get. I did think one stretched believability just a bit, but it was a minor deal. The characters are strong, and I’m curious where the complications in Jaya’s love life will go.

3.5 stars.
I can't really remember much of the last books apart from small bits and pieces, but I think the best bit for me with this was probably the last 10/15%, when it all a picked up with Cedars hunt for Cudgel.
