Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 2, 2014
The war that started in the book Ghosts, part of Mark Dawson's awesome John Milton series, and got into full force with the first solo Beatrix Rose novel, In Cold Blood, continues wonderfully in this second in the series. Her list of people to make pay for what they did to her and her family is a tad shorter now but, unfortunately for her, that means that those remaining have learned of her intent and are ready for her.Still, how ready can anyone been when the hunter is one of the best government assassins to come out of Britain in many years, one with tremendous reason for doing what she is doing. If time was not also an enemy, she could make their wait a living hell but she does not have that luxury and so must take risks and that liability is one of the things that makes the book so very, very exciting.Rose cannot pick her times but she can pick her battles and she does so with great skill. Following her planning and watching her skillfully alter those plans as life necessitates kept me reading without a stop.It also made me REALLY want to know what happens next. That is some good story-telling.
