A Gentleman's Game: A Queen & Country Novel by Greg Rucka

4.0

If this book were a movie, the main character would be played by Angelina Jolie in kick-ass mode, with her Lara Croft British accent in place. I haven't read any of Rucka's graphic novels with the Tara Chace character, although I have read some of his Wonder Woman and Batwoman story arcs. He doesn't seem to have any problem with strong women. Without having read any of her graphic novel adventures, I'd say Rucka managed to smoothly transition her into an exciting novel. I don't read a lot of spy thrillers, but I enjoyed this one and will definitely check out the second in the series. This may be typical of spy thrillers in general, but I was reading this enjoyably enough in snatches during very little spare time until I hit about 2/3 of the way through the book. Everything kicked into high gear and it became a page-turner that I finished quickly. Entertaining, with a healthy dose of Britishness that I tend to like in mysteries and thrillers.
