At this point you'd think I'd read more about the books I request from NetGalley than I do. So yet again, I've requested and read book 2 in a series and only realized it when I was a few chapters in. Thankfully, while I did miss some backstory from book 1, I was able to still keep up with this installment. There was a fair enough review when events of book 1 were referenced. Not to say I'm not going to go back and correct this...I've quite enjoyed this character!
After opening with a body found in a suitcase with no clues as to who did it and how they got in, Emma is on the case. Trained an the elite MI6, she's placed to infiltrate the inner circle of some Russian players thought to be trafficking chemical weapons into her country. But with a traitor in her midst, she doesn't know who she can or should trust.

This was an edge of your seat thriller that I found myself unable to put down. For the most part, I found the story pretty believable. Except. Yes there's an except. I figured out the spy early on and with as intelligent a spy I found Emma to be I was quite surprised she hasn't figured it out. She seems quite adept at her job and incredibly motivated as her father lost his life as a spy when she was young. That made it the only unbelievable part of the book that for someone who already had such a lack of trust in others was blindsided by this person.

Even though I haven't yet read book 1, I can confidently say this is a strong sequel in this series ans I look forward to reading more of Emma's adventures being a top spy in this small, elite group.
