Die Easy by Zoë Sharp
5.0
I bloody love Charlie Fox! She's the thinking reader's Jack Reacher; more interior monologue and personal hygiene, less cliches and shagging.
This time she's in New Orleans where her protectee is attending a fundraiser for post-Katrina reconstruction. It soon becomes apparent that there's a genuine threat to someone in the group of rich potential benefactors - but which, and from whom?
This is definitely a series to read in order; at the very least you should read Fourth Day then Fifth Victim before picking up Die Easy if you want to understand Charlie's backstory and specifically her relationship with Sean.
Following his near-fatal shooting at the end of Fourth Day, Sean has significant memory loss and is quite a different person now. I really appreciated the portrayal of a traumatic brain injury in a realistic way. Too often, popular culture depicts miraculous recoveries with no lasting effects. In contrast, Charlie's learning that Sean has regressed four years and is very much a hostile ex-squaddie rather than the assure closed protection expert she could rely on personally and professionally. Could this be the end?
