Emma Makepeace returns - working undercover on a yacht in the Mediterranean to track down the unknown partner of a pair of Russian oligarchs,

As a huge fan of Alias Emma, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read an advance copy of The Traitor. I loved this one as well. Once again, Emma had a harrowing espionage assignment, this time on a yacht without nearby backup. She had to try to do her assignment and keep herself and others safe while worrying about a possible traitor within her organization. I flew through the book, finding it very exciting and intense. I enjoyed revisiting the continuing characters, and I found the villains she investigated very scary. I also liked the various locales where she traveled. Although this book could be read and enjoyed without reading the previous book, it would be a shame to miss the fabulous Alias Emma. I highly recommend this book, and I can't wait for the next addition to the series.

“The Traitor” was a good sequel. An MI6 analyst is found in a suitcase in his flat, killed by a nerve agent, VX. He had been tracking the finances of two Russian oligarchs with homes and.business in England and elsewhere, and who were suspected of providing chemical weapons to unsavory individuals and nations. The investigation was terminated prematurely (budget cuts), but the analyst continued the investigation on his own, and to his own peril.

To uncover the secrets, including the identity of a presumed British traitor working with/for the Russians, Emma will go undercover on the yacht of one of the Russians, Volkov. She will be essentially unsupported, as recent events have made Volkov, and especially his bodyguard, extra suspicious and cautious, making it nearly impossible to bring any type of communication or surveillance equipment. Adding to the confusion is the erratic behavior of Volkov’s young American mistress, Madison, whose primary interest is partying hard. Her behavior creates complications for Emma, who wants to protect Madison without compromising the mission (an impossible task).

The story has plenty of action and intrigue. Although the identity of the British traitor is not too hard to figure out.

Read Alias Emma and loved it, didn’t know this one existed but so glad it was offered. Loved it just as much as the first one! Emma is always getting herself into way too many situations, and manages to keep her wits about her all the time., even when she is on a boat in the middle of the ocean. So many twists and turns in this one, and a couple of surprises along the way. Emma is like a female James Bond💜💜 Very entertaining story! Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

The Traitor by Ava Glass is a superb sequel to her debut novel. Plot is engrossing and characters are fully defined. Well worth the read!
