ASSASSIN. MOTHER. WIFE. MEET THE NEW HEROINE FOR OUR TIMES.

'Brilliant and funny' HUGH GRANT

'Witty and original' CLARE MACKINTOSH

'I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!' MARIAN KEYES

Lex Tyler is trying to have it all.

But being a working mother is so much more difficult when you're a secret agent for an underground branch of the security services.

Platform Eight have been tasked with tracking down and eliminating the traitor in MI6 who has been selling information to the highest bidder through a headhunting website for the criminal underworld that connects intelligence operatives with all manner of bad people with a simple right swipe. Deals get made. Secrets get sold. Missions fail, and agents die.

Lex's own home life is not much easier. With a husband who rings her in the middle of a gunfight to complain she's yet again forgotten to pick up his dry-cleaning, and a two-year-old daughter who has a newfound love of biting, surviving both the Terrible Twos and a traitor might just be too much for one exhausted mother to handle.

Red Sparrow meets Mick Herron in this gripping and witty page-turner about having it all, keeping it all and surviving it all.©2019 Asia Mackay (P)2019 W. F. Howes Ltd International Mystery & Crime Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Crime Espionage

Definitely one for the girls; amusing and interesting story of a secret agent mum. My only complaint is the very annoying child (Gigi) who ruins an otherwise great book.

Not for the men

So enjoyable. At times I don’t really like Lex, but there are so many characters to care about. I hope there’s another in this series but can’t find any such news about one in the pipeline. Fingers crossed!

Just wonderful!

Hilarious read - very cleverly written. I’d recommend to anyone juggling work with children. I hope she writes more of these

Excellent read!

I really liked the characters and the story. I did guess the “baddie” pretty early on, which made it a little less entertaining than the first book.

Good, just not as great as the first one!
