When I first started this one I was flying through it, but after about a third of the book, I just lost my investment in it. The plot was great and the idea of retired assassins is such a fantastic premise, but I found myself really missing any attachment or love for the characters. I expected there to be some more drama, but everything played out pretty much how I expected it to.

Now that doesn't mean I didn't like it, I really did. It just wasn't as propulsive as I was hoping for from the plot, but I'd still recommend it, especially if you're looking for a soft step into the thriller world.
