About this listen

Beatrix Rose is looking for her daughter, Isabella.

The Triad overlord Michael Yeung knows where she is but he needs her to do a small job first.

Beatrix is sent to the jungles of Venezuela and an illegal goldmine run by the loathsome Aurelio Rincon. The task seems easy enough – find a local bandit who has been wreaking havoc at the mine, and kill him.

But there is a sinister secret hidden deep within the jungle and Beatrix quickly finds herself at war with a private army as she is caught between corrupt government officials and local rebels who believe she has been sent to save them. Now, as Beatrix carves a bloody trail through the forest, she finds herself troubled by the one thing she didn’t expect – her conscience.

As the body count rises and the truth behind Rincon’s empire is laid bare, Beatrix faces a terrible choice - does she risk losing her daughter, or losing her soul?

I struggled to get into this book, but I persevered and was greatly rewarded by the whole concept. I think part was a bit convoluted and overplayed but the same thing happens throughout life.

Perseverance

Great to have a female protagonist who is performed superbly by the narrator. However, this is basically Beatrix playing Hannibal, Face, Murdoch and Mr T without the need for a safety catch or poorly aimed shot. Enjoyable if not formulaic and somewhat hackneyed for the genre. No character development of Beatrix so do start with an earlier book if this is your first BR journey.

*Thrilling*

This is one of Beatrix Rose’s most dangerous assignments. It is strange when I read a series I like to read them in order but I think the first three are a trilogy then Mark Dawson has some stand alone’s within the same series 🤔🤔🤔

Somehow this is so much more dangerous. Her main motivation is to find her daughter Isabella who was so cruelly ripped from her by the secret government department called ‘Group Fifteen’ she is working for a Triad overlord Michael Yeung who knows where her daughter is. But nothing is straightforward with him. She needs to do him a favour.

This favour sees her going to Venezuela into the jungle to take someone out. But this changes when she uncovers dark secrets and corruption on the highest scale and at the heart of it is greed. Anyone who gets in the way is bumped off.

So she wants justice for the people suffering but she wants to find her daughter. We see her at her absolute best with everything thrown at her. There are gunfights, torture, knives, grenade’s but when Beatrix improvises it makes for a thrilling showdown that made me fear for her as the odds are stacked against her taking on the most dangerous of targets and not just one.

Not one of the author’s better efforts. Good performance by Gemma Whelan as usual. Overall ok.

Bit predictable
