Kills Well with Others

How it reads

Kills Well with Others is mystery (historical spy mystery, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in an international setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are friendship, secrets and justice. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 356 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
