You know the situation, when you expect so much from the book and it just left you disappointed?
With “Exit strategy” situation was reversed. I picked it up not expecting anything higher than middle-class book, but I find myself really enjoying it.
The summary of it is that an ex-cop now works as a hitwoman and unites with other hitmen for killing another hitman who became a serial killer. I think it is a cool story! It was full with action, strategy planning, police procedures and insight in hitman profession. I even picked up a couple of useful things, if I ever going to commit a perfect murder:))))
In the beginning story went a little slow, but then it picked up speed and I find myself unable to put it down.
I liked Nadia, her professionalism, her intelligence, her ability to still differentiate good from bad in her job.
And I loved Jack. I find his manner of talking in monosymbolic sentences entertaining and cute. And his relationship with Nadia was interesting. I couldn’t figure out the nature of it though. Sometimes he treated her strictly like colleague, sometimes like teacher, sometimes like father. Sometimes I could totally feel a chemistry and romantic interest there. But I have a problem with his age. In my young 21 it is almost impossible to see a man, who crossed half a century mark, as a possible love interest. I get that Nadia is 32, but it is still a big age difference. And no matter how good a man look in his 50, all I can see is a grandpa. But if you put away the age than I am totally for “team Jack”!
I am waiting forward to reading the next book and see how thing will develop from there.
