When your boss is at a conference in a city where there's a suspicious death, it's unlucky.

If it happens twice, it's odd.

But when she's in the same city at the same time as a third unexplained death . . .

Could she be a stone-cold killer?

Millie's always known her boss Freya is a psycho – the demanding and ever-changing coffee orders, the cryptic instructions, the apparently expected mind reading and don't even start on the insistence that Millie wears heels . . . All. The. Time.

But it only extends as far as exacting office standards. Right?

As Freya's assistant, Millie has privileged access to her diary and travel history and when a pattern emerges of men (who seem to have no connection to each other) dying in cities where Freya is travelling, Millie is determined to figure out what's going on.

After all, a stone-cold killer could be exactly what Millie needs . . .

Wow...
... speechless
... utterly gripped
... devoured in two sittings 
... perfect poolside reading (or garden in my case)
... totally didn't see any of it coming

That is pretty much what is running through my head currently, having just finished reading this fabulous thriller, with revenge and vengeance at its heart. 

I was enthralled by the dynamics between Millie and Freya, and just what is revealed over the course of the book.

What I do know is that I need to read more from this author, there is something about this book that makes me know that I'll love anything Sarah Bonner writes.  It's the most hooked  I have been on a book for ages, and I absolutely adored it. 

It has girl power vibes all over it, despite the fact there might be murder involved.  I loved all the reasoning, the characters pasts and although one reveal I had worked out, it wasn't anything like what came after that point. 

With a whole lot of international travel (which always thrills me), some incredibly cunning and devious main characters, this story is just fabulous. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
