"Liz Carlyle Book 6". I can't really remember what the story was, but it was some current day spy thing.

There were quite a few characters but I didn't really develop a good empathy/understanding of any of them so it wasn't any particular surprise when the baddie was revealed. Thinking about it, whoever had turned out to be the baddie wouldn't have surprised me; maybe if I'd read more in the series it would have helped - this is the 6th in the series.

I did notice at one point - when I wasn't sure who was good and who was bad - that I realised I couldn't trust what people were saying, and was trying to work out for myself "well, he knows that she knows that he thinks that..."

Another bit I highlighted:

'So who is it then?' But Blakey's question seemed rhetorical. The expression on his face had changed from scepticism to curiosity to alarm - he was clearly starting to draw his own conclusions. And not enjoying them.
'I'm pretty sure you have as good an idea as I do.'
'What do you mean?' Blakey looked shaken.
'Katherine Ball.' Liz let the words hand between them.
'You think...' Blakey started to say, his voice rising, and then the possibility that she might be right seemed to stop him short.

I noted here that I wasn't sure if this was meant to be some sort of bombshell to the reader, but I didn't know enough about 'Kathering Ball' to know whether to find it shocking.

Not good enough to make me want to read any more by her.
