I quite enjoyed this thriller; especially when it turned from your average, run-of-the-mill espionage story in foreign parts to a thrilling UK-based manhunt. Or womanhunt, I suppose - Tara is the lead and yep, she's sure a she.

My only issue with further stories, which I think there are, is that were I in Tara's shoes, it'd take something pretty damn big to have me come back to work after her government planned to - well, you either know, or will, so I'll stop that thought right there.

I wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat much, but this is certainly a worthy opening instalment.
