Review: Beatrix Rose does Beatrix Kiddo Justice
Rating: 4 out of 5

Another well-written thriller by Mark Dawson.  Not a slam-bam action fest as I first thought it might be (after all, it is an homage to the Kill Bill movies), but a well written special ops/spy thriller that closes with lots of action.  In Cold Blood is a short novel (173 pages) and it gets to the point very quickly: Rose is out for revenge and will take on a deadly mission to Somalia just to knock one more guy off her list.  Surrounded by Somali pirates and Navy SEALS, Rose is ready to go to any lengths to get her revenge.  My only gripe would be to make her story a tad longer (but nowhere near as long as a typical Clancy novel) so we could get more Rose.  With a built in time limit, Rose only has so long to complete her revenge.
