Solid entry in the series, although it is a bit of a misnomer, Eve Duncan is only mentioned in passing. It does have Jane, Caleb and MacDuff and they always bring out the sass in each other. This time Caleb is the target with Jane the unlucky afterthought. The stakes are high as Jane learns there is a greater reason to stay safe. Throw in a Cira and Fiona mystery and there is enough to keep the gang busy. Three plus ⭐️s for a fast fun ride.

Jane MacGuire, Seth Caleb, Earl John MacDuff, a hunky guy named Rodland, MI6 operatives and MacDuff‘s Royal Marines all battle the dastardly crime lord Bohdan. Escapes through the Scottish Highlands, attacks in the manor house, a historical love story, a hidden treasure, a train-based escape, and Jane has a big secret! Eve and Joe are only off stage. In short, Johansen on steroids. Made me yearn for the earlier, slower novels but it‘s a hoot.
