FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Exit Strategy by Linda L Richards was a book that I wasn’t sure I was going to like, but I ended up loving the book. I did receive a digital copy of this book, but I also bought a copy of the audiobook because I wanted to listen to this story as I was working. I enjoyed the audiobook’s narrator, and if I ever saw that she narrated another audiobook I was interested in, I would listen to it. I enjoyed this book because even though it is in a genre that I love, I don’t usually listen to this type of story. I spent a good chunk of the book trying to figure out what would happen next because the author did a great job of keeping me guessing. This is the second book in the series. I didn’t read the first book, but the author included enough of the back story that I wasn’t lost. If I didn’t know that there was a book before this one, I wouldn’t have been confused at all. I think I will go back and check out the first book because I enjoyed this one so much. She did a great job of making me feel as if I knew the characters. I felt like they were real people, not just book characters. If you are fans of the suspense genre, I would pick up this book.

A shattered life. A killer for hire. Can she stop?

Her assignments were always to kill someone. That’s what a hitman—or hitwoman—is paid to do, and that is what she does. Then comes a surprise assignment—keep someone alive!

She is hired to protect Virginia Martin, the stunning and brilliant chief technology officer of a hot startup with an innovation that will change the world. This new job catches her at a time in her life when she’s hanging on by a thread. Despair and hopelessness—now more intense than she’d felt after the tragic loss of her family—led her to abruptly launch this career. But over time, the life of a hired killer is decimating her spirit and she keeps thinking of ending her life.

She’s confused about the “why” of her new assignment but she addresses her mission as she always does, with skill and stealth, determined to keep this young CTO alive in the midst of the twinned worlds of innovation and high finance.

Some people have to die as she discharges her responsibly to protect this superstar woman amid the crumbling worlds of money and future technical wonders.

The spirit of an assassin—and her nameless dog—permeates this struggle to help a young woman as powerful forces build to deny her.

Fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Dexter will love Exit Strategy.
