I kept losing concentration, while listening to this audiobook. That possibly tells a tale.

The story’s mostly OK. The infelicities of Ms Slaughter’s grammar did get in the way. And I was quite surprised when told that the heroine put a knife in her bra, a knife whose blade was long enough to reach the baddie’s heart when she would stab him in his shoulder. That’s a long blade... and an impossibly massive big bra. Things like that I found broke the willing suspension of disbelief.

Perhaps most people will enjoy this book, without being distracted by the infelicities I found so disturbing.

OKish
