Great crime book, good pace and enough depth to make the story gripping. An interesting take on the lead character which I enjoyed reading about and challenged my opinion of traditional goodies and baddies. Looking forward to the next instalment.

‘A Deadly Trade’ ( A Josh Thane Thriller) by E.V. Seymour published 10/11 by HarperCollins UK
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book as the book lists itself as ‘ a gripping espionage thriller’,not the kind of book I would normally read or have much interest in.....however I was glad I stepped out of my ‘comfort book zone’ as in a word, well 4, ‘this book was awesome’!!!
It was like being in an episode of ‘24’ or similar, the action so fast paced and relentless it really convinced you that you were part of the story and the action....
Basically the story starts as assasin, Josh, goes to carry out a ‘job’ however he finds someone has beaten him to it, he makes a startling discovery which then leads to a frantic race against time to save the world! Sounds dramatic, well it is!!! .
The story is full of high tension twists and turns that never stop, right until the very last sentence.
Terrorists, Mossad Operatives, Russians, Secrets, wayward family members, dark operatives, murder, intrigue and suspense can be a complicated and heady mix for a film never mind a book but the author manages with their easy descriptive style and great characters to keep you in control of what is happening and to follow every development.
Characters that you think unlikeable will challenge your perceptions of them, you also meet treatcherous, evil, scary, intriguing and OTT characters,all are portrayed wonderfully and in an instant you can picture them
Expect a fast paced ever changing book that you will find hard to resist turning that next page over
I really recommend this book and especially if you think like me that its ‘not my kind of book’ as I am so glad I decided to give it a go
I really look forward to reading more from this author
