As I've previously said, I was really looking forward to this one as I found her debut novel was excellent. I have to say that this one wasn't as brilliant as that one. I had some problems believing the huge coincidence that underpinned the core of the novel and it was slow to start with - 150 pages of people sitting around talking about their plan of action. Once the main character actually started the undercover work then it took off and I enjoyed it a lot. I think any second novel would have suffered slightly in comparison to the first - for me at least - and it would have been hard to match or top it. So, all in all, a really good read.
