A review by rellimreads
Spotless by Camilla Monk
5.0
Audible.
I read this via KU a few years ago and adored it. Adding Amy McFadden's narration to the mix makes it even better.
Camilla Monk has a totally unique and endearing sense of humor. I couldn't help but embrace the ridiculousness that is Island Chaptal and her captor/protector March. Also, despite this being over-the-top it's also strangely relatable. Entirely from Island's POV - we join her on trying to survive her central but oblivious role in an ongoing mission to recover a diamond her deceased mother hid years ago. March plays the experienced yet OCD ridden assassin. (Think Monk, but with guns.)
Amy McFadden is terrific in this. She provides a full cast of characters from a variety of countries with discernible and consistent voices. Additionally, McFadden also gives each "outtake" from faux romance novels that serve as the intro to every chapter their own unique delivery.
Heads up: This is somewhat a cliffhanger in that there is a complete and enjoyable story here, but there are definitely more adventures to come and the book ends on a bit of a dun, dun, duuunnn...
If you haven’t already - read Camilla Monk’s reviews of her books. They are priceless
