Rating: 5 out of 5

In this case 13 is not an unlucky number, it gives us another winner in the Ben Hood series that started with The Coral Sea Affair. I have read all Drew's Ben Hood books, in fact have read them all more than once - both for the great stories and just plain good entertainment; none have disappointed. The Atomic Blonde is the best so far - hired, fired, hired and fired again, Ben keeps his moral compass set on doing right by Felicity and doing wrong by the villains as only he can - with tenderness and deadly force as required. A man's man who respects women, gentle or tough on them as required, who cooks like a gourmet, and in the end sets everything right. His interplay with Rodney and Rose throughout each case provides timely relief from the seriousness of the situation and yet we know that Ben will prevail over all obstacles thrown at him. For the new reader - take a chance, you won't regret it. From a devoted fan - please Drew, can we have some more?
