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.

Still one of my favourite books of the year, with a kick-ass female lead character.

#OhMother. Wife. Assassin. If you haven‘t read this yet, why not? One of the best books I‘ve read this year, I just love the main character. Why cast a woman as “Jane Bond” when women can create their own kick-ass characters like Lex Tyler?

Eggs Great choice! This is new to me! 5y

I am using the tagged book for this prompt for my #popsugarchallenge

Both Killing it and this book (as this is it's sequel) would be great movies as they are action packed with some humour if done right! As we all know when books are made for screen (t.v and movies) things are always lost so this prompt was a bit hard for me as they are rarely the same things and some books should be left to their original format.

TheEllieMo I can definitely see it would translate well to film, but I‘d be worried about how they went about it! 5y

Very good. Continues where Killing it left off, it is a intense and thrilling read and the twists continue right to the end. Interesting characters and concept. Thank you #Readersfirst for the free copy.

Does this qualify as an #ExcellentWrapUp?! My reads for August, my favourite was definitely The Nursery, least favourite probably The End We Start From.
