Excellent addition to the espionage thriller genre

You share the feelings of the main characters like you're their friend in the book. This is a fast paced book and never a dull moment. You can tell Mike Wells did his research when it came to the main premise of the book which is the secret service and counterfeiting of currency. Plenty of twists and turns like any good spy thriller which keep you guessing and glad it all wasn't wrapped up in one book.
It makes a change that the espionage genre has a woman in the lead who is strong willed but still has some weaknesses which makes her more believable as a character.
I recommend you read this book even if you don't read this genre, it flows well and doesn't blind you with too much tech jargon which can put some people off. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Kudos

Espionage is not a genre I have any experience of. It's really not my cup of tea. However I am trying to clear my bookshelves as I am due to move and this was on there (not sure where it came from). All I can say is that the story was ok. I had to force myself to get through the book. There were some exciting parts but nothing that was page-turning.

Female Bourne

A decent all female lead cast spy thriller. From the same studio as Jason Bourne and it shows. Plenty of globe trotting exploits featuring shootouts, espionage and all the spy craft you'd expect. The cast overall is pretty good, the story and twists are decent although maybe running out of ideas a little by the end. But overall an enjoyable action spy thriller if nothing ground breaking.
