Romance and action are breathlessly combined in the latest, wisecracking Sophie Green adventure from Kate Johnson, author of one of our favourites from last year Untied Kingdom. Ex-spy Sophie is framed for a murder she didn’t commit and has to use all her guile and gumption to discover the truth. You can read this as a standalone book or read the first four in this chick-lit series before.
Sophie's in trouble. Must be Tuesday. Sophie Green's an ex-spy, or trying to be. You wouldn't believe the trouble she's in. An MI5 officer has been shot with her gun, her fingerprints all over his office. And no, she didn't kill him. But she has gone on the run. Now Sophie's desperately seeking whoever's trying to frame and kill her. She's being forced to work with the least trustworthy man in Europe, MI5 is following her every move, and she's had to leave the tall, blond, god of a man she loves behind. Luke Sharpe works for MI6. Or did, until his girlfriend became a murder suspect. Doing nothing wasn't an option, so he started investigating. Who cares if it is means jeopardising his career? Sophie's everything he used to say he never wanted. Young, irresponsible, bright and mad. Now she's just everything - and she has to live.She will live, won't she?. 5th in the Sophie Green Mysteries but can be read as stand alone. Kate's previous novel, The UnTied Kingdom was short-listed for the 2012 Romantic Contemporary Novel of the year award (RoNAs).
