I didn't like it nearly as well as some of the Liz Carlyle books, especially the first one, which was very good.

She was hopelessly naive and easily manipulated - even before being "trapped" - despite being this tough, principled human rights campaigner.

Whether it is because I have now listened to all the available audio books in this series, so know all the main characters intimately, or Stella's writing skills have progressed with time, this book is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best in the series so far. We’re a few months into this blog project now, and I seem to actually be sticking with it – which means I can come clean about how these new covers for the Miss Marple series inspired me to start the blog in the first place.

Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation’s most highly sensitive tasks. They would know very well that a communications director would not have access to sensitive information and would immediately become VERY suspect had she tried to discover anything. I didn't love everything about the writing style, but I got used to it, and it was a very good read.

The author really does an excellent job on telling her story without giving away secrets or details that could hurt others. It's probably the weakest in the series, due to a plot device in the first chapter on which the rest of the story hinges.It seems like it’s difficult to live alongside Muslim extremism no matter what other faith you have.
