The Trap by Ava Glass (2024)
Overjoyed to get my hands on Ava Glass’s third thrill ride adventure about another dangerous mission for the young, fearless British spy, Emma Makepeace.
Emma, working for a “sort of” offshoot of British Intelligence MI6, once again faces off against her lifelong hated enemies of the Russian secret service. (Her father died at their hands when she was a child.) And once again, they’re up to no good -planning some kind of catastrophic, violent disruption of the U.S.-European G7 economic summit due to happen at a Scottish castle in Edinburgh.
Our girl Emma’s tasked with surveilling and then befriending (in…uh.. possibly more ways than one) Nick Orlov, a former Russian citizen turned millionaire oil dealer based in Edinburgh. He’s a dashing, handsome notorious ladies man, but now he’s being pressured by brutal Russian agents to help them in whatever terroristic event they’ve cooked up for the G7.
From there, it’s one swift, suspenseful moment after another as Emma throws herself into harm’s way to get to the bottom of things, foil the Russians, and save the free world while bravely serving on His Majesty’s Secret Service. Along the way she ends up with an unlikely but invaluable partner in suffer-no-fools Scottish cop Kate Mackenzie and a stunning personal surprise for herself.
For all lovers of action-adventure spy fiction, this series is a 5 star must. (*****) And since the James Bond producers move at the rate of dead snails to make another one, here’s the best book to curl up with till they get around to it.
