An enjoyable read, tainted by the irritation of yet another typical "hero" - smirking, all-kmowing, arrogant and entitled to sexually take advantage of the protagonist at any time and of course, she dithers and gives in. All she needs to…

It wasn't as good as the first book, but it was still very suspenseful and had a lot of twists. Can't wait to read the next one!!!

The second book in The Agency series is just as good as the first. Mary's new assignment involves disguising herself as Mark Quinn and getting a job on a building site to investigate the death of one of the workers. Excellent,…
