Typical superhero style mystery with so many miracle. Missed billets and lucky coincidences that your head will spin

Loved Charlie Fox and her studmuffin Sean. Will for sure read another of her (Zoe Sharps) thrillers

3.5 Stars. Unfortunately the author has chosen to set this book in the US. My first book in this series was number 9, so I know this isn't the only time she has done this. I suppose it is an excuse for more gun play and makes the plots seem less outrageous than if they were set in the UK. I would prefer she stuck closer to home.

I picked this one up in Madison while doing a couple of events with Zoe in Madison and Milwaukee (thanks again to Jon and Ruth Jordan for setting that up). Zoe's a real joy to work with; our event in Madison was basically the two of us batting the conversation back and forth, and it felt as natural as if we'd been working together for years. And hanging out with Zoe and her husband Andy was pure fun. They're both funny as hell, and they're great together.

So I read the book, and all I can say is, I am stone in love with Charlie Fox, Zoe's kick-ass protagonist. She's like an Emma Peel for the 21st Century--tough as nails, totally professional in her work as a bodyguard, but she has a heart that can be broken. The plot blasts out of the gate from chapter one, as someone tries to kill Zoe's obnoxious teenage "principal" at a Florida amusement park. From there, the action never lets up as Charlie and the kid run for their lives, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake across the Florida landscape, which is strange enough for Americans, let alone a Brit like Charlie.

A great read.

This story was not too bad but not great either. Some things were pretty predictable and the use of the "teenage" "likes" got to be annoying after a while.

Great plot although some grammar problems.

British Special Forces turned bodyguard Charlie Fox has her first job in the USA. Part of series, but it doesn't seem to matter very much that I am reading them out of order.

Have read earlier, english settings for character prior to this book and enjoyed. I think this series will get better.

4th in the Charlie Fox series, and again the location and adventure shifts again, this time to Florida where she has been sent to protect a teenage boy from mysterious assailants who may or may not be working with his computer programmer father. While as usual it's all rather implausible but it's a fast paced action story and she makes a great tough-gal heroine.

Best Charlie Fox book yet! I keep telling myself after each one I am going to take a break before moving on to the next one, but I have already started the next. That being said, I just really enjoyed this book. The action, of course, is not stop. But the continued depth of Charlie that we get to learn is just really fun and interesting. Furthermore, the other characters, especially Trey, and the reaction he brings from Charlie is great to see. I enjoy how events of the last book led into this one, while not a sequel, she does hold fast to the always keep her principle safe rule. An all around fun read, and one, as usual, I did not want to end.

Charlie in the field! I loved watching her in her new job.

There were a lot of things in this book that seemed quite implausible (why there's only 3 stars) but in the end I really didn't care that much. I just really enjoyed the story and the characters and the non-stop action. It was a fun read and the mastermind antagonist took me by surprise. Usually I can figure out the culprit long before the big reveal but not in this case. The mystery, action, and character development was a significant enough distraction for some of the parts where I would normally be more unforgiving of the lack of believability. I really enjoy this series and I'm looking foreword to reading the next one!!
