A fast paced action drama.

The book hooks the reader from the opening murder scene.

Where the book falls down is the climax, which feels rushed and a let down. While it ties the loose ends of the story up, it feels more of a wrapping up rather than a climax.

Otherwise, the story flows well, with gradual building of the tension.

A modern spy novel, with little action and a lot of foreign languages, it can be a little confusing with characters and organizations. But still, it's a well written and entertaining book if you don't ask yourself why the main character takes the risks she does.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from “A Valuable Asset” by Chloe Archambault. I knew it was an action thriller - and on that it delivered. Technically is the second book in the “Decoy” series, but I read it as a stand-alone and it was fine. This book is very fast paced and the book flows well. There were number of twists and turns. I did rather early on figure out “the bad person,” but that didn’t deter from my enjoyment of the overall story. I did have some issues with people’s last names being repeated seemingly randomly through the book. If you like action adventure with Russian spies, murder, mystery, and the like - this could be a book you enjoy.

This was a great mystery and I enjoyed it. It was fast paced and gripping. A great book to get lost in.

A Valuable Asset by Chloe Archambault is the second book with Russian born and trained now FBI consultant Nina. Another fast paced thriller until the very end. A mission gone awry, her father getting poisoned, a mole at the FBI, a mole in the SVU, a chase through California that ends in Montreal. I highly recommend! Thanks to NetGallery for letting me review this book in exchange for an honest review.
