Where Death Meets the Devil by L.J. Hayward
4.0
4.5*
Well this had a bit of everything!!
Plots, counter plots, assassins, spies, sub plots, fights, gunfights, secret codes, fudge!, love, hate, Sheila the camel (yes!) and superb planning - by Ethan and the author.
I enjoyed this a lot. Lots of plausible situations, a few implausible escapes, lots of gun fights and combat.
The story is told in the now and one year earlier, when all the now plot points are set in motion. The chapters alternate and are headed then or now so easy to keep track.
In this case the dual telling worked well, as a lot of the time the Then fed into the Now.
Who was who, who was good, bad or indifferent all went to the end - whilst there were a number of options for the mole, we were kept guessing.
Jack and Ethan got together but it is all a bit fragile - still lots of Ethan’s (or is he?) background to discover. There are 3 shorts out before book two later in year, so off to read them now!
