I thoroughly enjoyed Original Sin. Getting to know Lucy Hamilton is a pleasure. She is also know as Sally Sin. Her roles of wife and mother are definitely out of the ordinary when invaded by her former life as a spy. Sally traveled the world at a moment's notice chasing bad guys doing dastardly things. Lucy takes son Theo to the park and daycare (never letting him out of her sight). She tries to do the "mommy thing" while not getting too intimate with any of the park patrons. Her husband Will knows she has secrets, but I really don't think he can imagine exactly how dangerous they are. Even Lucy is unaware of parts of her past and talk about some peculiar relationships with your quarry - it's sometimes hard to determine who is the hunted and who is the hunter when Sally is in action.
While spying is deglamorized in every scene, the action is intense and the plot is engaging. We never really believed all that stuff about 007 anyway!
I can't wait to read more about this carpooling killer!
