While I've seen several assassin(s) falling in love movies (Mr. and Mrs. Smith or the sublime Mr. Right) this was my first assassins falling in love book and WHAT a wild ride! Was this was an action thriller disguised as a romance, or a romance disguised as an action thriller? Whatever it was, it was FUN. I could not put this one down. I cared about both characters - damaged but not psychopaths, while the descriptions of various European locales made me feel like I was there and the angst was palpable. Highly recommend.

What I really loved about this is that Brazier shows their mastery and maintains that status by not overdramatising elements which keeps the tension and suspense without descending into melodramatics. Plus, it has got just the right balance of mystery, suspense and I liked characters as well.
