** spoiler alert ** 
 Really really SUPER enjoyed this book! I gobbled it up in chunks over a series of days but toward the end I had to set aside time to finish it in one bite because... whew the suspense! I'm really such a sucker for an intelligent female agent, and I love the moment where all the men in the room are like... oh! She might know a little something. 
 The twists in this book are UN. REAL. And I don't mean unrealistic, just unreal as in... wow. Not at all predictable, to the point where I am yelling at everyone else to get with the program! 
 Tight writing, twisty, suspenseful, with a heroine I could dig my teeth into. Her character arc is a major draw. Looking forward to more books about Iris Ballard.
