Review by showhost march 2016
This is more of a Jason Bourne/Jack
Reacher/James Bond type of crime thriller.
Fast & furious Shoot em up
with fight scenes that can last 5 pages.
Main character beaten, stomped on, kicked, broken ribs & ankle but
can still escape on foot & beat up baddies.
Victor, the main protagonist, is an
assassin, the best. But he is hired by
his ex-Russian crime boss to protect his step-daughter, Giselle, from another assassination attempt. Victor takes on the job, not because of his
ex-boss who he would like to kill but for his bosses deceased wife, Giselles
mother. His ex-boss is also disliked by
his step-daughter.
Giselle lives in London and works for a law
firm where she is training to be a lawyer and it is because of her job she is
being targeted. So through the street of
London they run, fight & hide to evade capture from the baddies some of
whom are British Intelligence workers.
Victor & Giselle form an unlikely bond as she needs him to stay
alive.
What I didn’t understand is that the
Russian boss got a life threatening letter, not his daughter, yet Giselle is
the one they are after so why send him a threatening letter??? Don’t see the relevance of it.
So yes it was a fast paced chase but I felt
I was watching a movie on paper. I am in
the minority on this book as I wouldn’t reach for another one.
