This is the third book in the Emma Makepeace series. Emma is facing a mission this time in England and Scotland. The Russian spies are back at it again and are threatening the G7 summit that is about to happen in Scotland. Emma is coming off her last mission where her trust was broken. She takes on all new levels of M16 and is challenged to the highest degree. Personally, I love the Emma Makepeace series. Its a modern female James Bond. You do not need to have read the previous books either - which is always a bonus. Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing and Ava Glass for a chance to read the latest in this series.

Emma Makepeace is a great character and as you get deeper into her current story, she becomes more and more compelling. I am loving how her spy antics and spy world expand in each story and can’t wait for book 4.

A new situation for The Agency's top spy, Emma Makepeace finds her trying to stop an assassination attempt during the G7 summitt being held in Edinburough. With Russian spies, insider leaks and an encounter with someone from her past, Emma must use her instincts in order to learn who she can trust. Assigned a partner from the local Scottish police, Emma isn't sure if Kate MacKenzie is a blessing or a hinderance in her investigation.
For fans of intelligence-based spies with no gunfire until the very end, readers may try to determine who is the internal leak and how Ripley's own relationships may have tainted this investigation.

The Trap by Ava Glass what a thrilling ride!

Emma Makepeace and her team are tasked with stopping an assassination before the G7 summit. I devoured this book! Ava Glass is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors with a series right now. #4 Where are you? I need details and dates.

Enjoyed this book very much. Diverting, fast moving, good characters, and interesting settings. Crisp and with just enough detail. The plot was familiar but the setting and circumstance was fresh and engaging.

I really like this series and hope the next book comes soon. I like the strong female character and supporting characters. The plot moves quickly and has some surprises. Highly recommend

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to review The Trap by Ava Glass.

The book is the third in the Alias Emma series and takes us on a high stakes, engaging spy adventure through Edinburgh where the Agency is working to prevent an incident at the upcoming G7. This time, Emma has some career firsts- working with a partner and using herself as a honey trap for a potential suspect. I enjoyed The Trap more than the second book in the Alias Emma series. Like the previous installments, it's fast paced but not very suspenseful or hard to follow.

I'd recommend this book to any fans of the spy genre who want a change from the usual male-dominated genre. I'm always on the lookout for female lead thrillers, and the Emma Makepeace series fits the bill.

Absolute edge of your seat thriller.: nonstop suspense thriller with political overtones.
Emma Makepeace is back at it with the covert spy group she works with, now in Edinburgh Scotland, for the G7 summit.
With leaders descending on the city from around the world, Enna's agency gets wind of a plot
to assassinate a leader or leaders at the summit. She is called in to go on the hunt one again.
Still reeling from her last adventure which had a very personal touch to it, she is called upon to go under deep
cover with a former Russian , who is now a now UK citizen, to find out what is being planned by the Russians and
what his connection is and how it can be stopped.
A really good story with greatly defined characters, as in her past two Emma Makepeace stories, and a plot
that is all too horrifyingly real in today's tempest world.
Ready for #4.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

Such a great series! This time Emma and her fellow spies are in Edinburgh to prevent something happening at the G7 summit. At first, they don't know what the threat is, and when they do learn what's about to happen, it's almost too late. The rush to stop it had me on the edge of my seat. On top of that, there is a Russian element to the threat, and Emma is charged with getting close to Nick Orlov to find out what his connection is to the summit. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? The author does a fantastic job of keeping you guessing. We also meet an Edinburgh cop who is partnered with Emma to guide her around the city. The trust between the two women grows from non-existent to life-saving over the course of the story. And best of all, we catch up with a previous character, one I hope we see more in future books. Can't recommend this series enough. Would give more than 5 stars.

This was a fun British spy thriller featuring a young female protagonist. I would recommend this series as a way to introduce younger women to the genre. (But it's recommended for anyone who enjoys a fast-moving, lighter thriller.)

This is the third book of the series and they have been getting progressively better. This time, we follow Emma to Scotland where she aides in keeping the area safe around a G7 meeting. A fast in fun read, adding some new characters into the mix.

She has just one week to stop a killer.

Emma Makepeace is headed to Edinburgh for the global G7 Summit when her team is tipped off about a high-profile assassination the Russians are planning—but they have no idea who the target is.

Surrounded by the world’s most powerful political leaders in a gridlocked city, Emma faces the most perilous mission of her career. How far will she go to catch the killer?

This reader loves loves loves the Emma Makepeace series, with all its twists and turns. Highly recommended. #TheTrap #NetGalley #SaltMarshAuthorSeries

3rd book in this very entertaining series, Emma Makepeace is like a female James Bond who is always getting herself into trouble, she keeps what she really does for a living secret from her family and always works alone-never has a partner.

This book is about the G7 Summit meeting and chatter that something big is gonna happen, she has to use all of her skills to find out what is happening so it can be stopped. She is paired up with a female police detective and the two hit it off immediately. She goes undercover with one of the prime suspects and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the information that is needed, alot of different aspects in this story, Emma also reminisces alot about things that have happened in her past and coming to terms with that.

As this story wraps up so many things happen and good results all around, Emma realizes she doesn't mind having a partner and just maybe a friend also. This was as good as the first two books, filled with action and a little extra friendship in the end. I love this series!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC-Ava Glass is definitely an author to read.

I LOVED the first book in this series, liked the second, and for 3/4 of this one thought it might just be the best yet! And then…the ending. While I was reading I kept thinking, “This can’t possibly be the climax.” But guess what? It was. I can’t remember the last time a book fizzled out so poorly at the finish line. A five star read became a 3 star one because of that letdown.

She’s back for more high-octane spy adventures. Emma Makepeace, a rising operative at The Agency, a top-secret British espionage group, is facing her biggest challenge yet. A top Russian spy has smuggled some weapons into the UK in advance of the global G7 Summit in Edinburgh. Emma and her team know that the Russians are planning an assassination, but don’t know who the target is.

With the help of Scottish detective Mackenzie, Emma must go undercover and set a honey trap for a Russian billionaire. Only he can provide a clue to Russia’s plans. And if she fails, a world leader may be assassinated. Emma and Mackenzie must race against the clock to find and neutralize the killer before the conference starts.

The Trap is full of Glass’s usual taut pacing and twists and turns. For those jonesing for a female James Bond, it’s a rollicking read and a welcome addition to the excellent Alias Emma series.

Another keeper from Ava Glass. Just enough insight into Emma to make her interesting and just enough excitement and danger to keep me coming back for more.

Ava Glass delivers another thrilling espionage adventure with "The Trap," the third book in the Emma Makepeace series. While the novel starts off slowly, it picks up pace about a third of the way in, ultimately providing a gripping and engaging narrative.

Emma Makepeace, the female equivalent of James Bond, is further developed in this installment by being paired with a Scottish detective named Mackenzie. Initially unwanted, Mackenzie becomes a compelling partner, adding depth to Emma's character and hinting at potential future collaborations.

Set against the backdrop of a G7 meeting in Edinburgh, the plot revolves around Emma's mission to stop a Russian assassination attempt. The tension builds steadily, culminating in a nail-biting race against time to thwart the assassin's plan.

Despite the slow start, "The Trap" rewards patient readers with a satisfying and suspenseful spy thriller. Glass's ability to craft complex characters and intricate plots shines through, particularly in the novel's latter half. The Edinburgh setting adds an atmospheric touch to the unfolding drama.

Overall, "The Trap" is a solid addition to the Emma Makepeace series, showcasing Glass's growing prowess in the espionage genre. With well-developed characters, taut plotting, and a tense conclusion, this novel is sure to please fans and newcomers alike. Emma's journey continues to captivate, promising more heart-pounding adventures in the world of international espionage.

An enjoyable spy novel that keeps you guessing. Emma Makepeace is called in to help discover what plan the Russians have in place to disrupt the G7 summit being held in Scotland. This is a well-written story in the style of Jason Bourne novels with good character development and enough twists to keep you guessing. I will definitely be reading more of Ava Glass.

Ava Glass has upped the ante in this new spy thriller featuring Emma Makepeace!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sharing the next installment in the Ava Glass series. I’ve enjoyed the previous books in the series and this one was no exception. Emma is a great character, and the books have the right mix of glamour, action and geopolitical plot. I recommend this for anyone who read the earlier books, or someone who enjoys a spy story like Jason Bourne.
