Review: Government Gal's Got Guns, Guts and Guile
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 4, 2013
Clarissa Abbot makes a fine protagonist. A career U.S. secret agent, she tackles a tough assignment with a partner who may be an enemy. She always knows where her guns are, and shoots straight literally and figuratively. She's cautious and thoughtful, and believable. The author shows great knowledge of the Washington, D.C., scene. Descriptions are vivid and dialog crisp. I heard it mostly, on my Kindle's text-to-speech capability, so missed typos if there were any, and a more plausible plot would have gotten the fifth star, but I recommend it highly for those who like colorful writing with fast action and  intricate intrigue.
