The Assassins by Gayle Lynds
Ok. blurb time first.
New York Times bestseller Gayle Lynds is the award-winning author of ten international espionage novels, including The Book of Spies and The Last Spymaster. Publishers Weekly lists her book Masquerade among the top ten spy novels of all time. The London Observer calls her a kick-ass thriller writer. Lee Child says she’s “today’s best thriller writer.”
Her most recent book is The Assassins, published on June 30, 2015. I picked it up in teh Darwin airport bookshop on my way back to Melbourne in October 2015, based completely on the back cover summary which sounded very interesting.
Alas, I found it very predictable and was pretty sure what was going to happen in just about every scenario that unfolded as part of the story. So a bit disappointing. I don't think I will be searching for any more of her books at the moment. There are so many other books that take my fancy more.
