‘One of the deadliest female assassins I’ve ever encountered in fiction’ Brendan DuBois, New York Times-bestselling author of The End with James Patterson

Killing Eve meets Jason Bourne…

Serial killer Neva has been conditioned not to ask questions of the mysterious Network, to remain perfectly incurious and perennially cold-blooded. She must simply execute the targets they text her and live to bury the tale.

But then she’s tasked with terminating a fellow assassin and glimpses her own future in her colleague’s fate. When she leaves flowers on the gravesite, someone notices.

Agent Michael Kensington knows he’ll have his work cut out for him when he’s recruited by MI5 onto operation Archive to piece together patterns in cold cases.

Nothing could ever have prepared him for Neva…

An assassin obsessed with hell, a fugitive tortured by the secrets of her past, a woman destined to unthread him.

The House of Killers introduces a trail-blazing new voice in spy fiction in this nerve-shredding thriller series simmering with obsession and espionage – an absolute must-read for all fans of spooks past and present, from Bond to Bourne, Smiley to Polastri.

Praise for The House of Killers:

‘Fast-paced and impeccable, this is writing at its very best … It was almost dawn by the time I finished … It demands to be read in a single sitting. An absolute triumph!’ Awais Khan, author of In the Company of Strangers

‘Wow, what a read! Buckle up for a thrilling ride through a labyrinth of secrets, lies and betrayals, in a shadowy world where no one and nothing can be trusted. And where death is just the slash of a knife away’ Abbie Frost, author of The Guesthouse

Hated the male narrator

Couldn’t stand Michael though I think it’s partly because of the male narrator. At the beginning Michael just sounded like a condescending and arrogant guy, for supposedly being a very smart guy he made some pretty stupid choices but at least he was aware he was being an idiot. There’s too many action details along with tons of repetition. It all felt flat, and I didn’t find any chemistry between neva and Michael, their relationship felt flat and forced, again I think this might be due to the male narrator. The ‘plot twist’ wasn’t much of a plot twist and not even a good one at that. The female narrator was amazing though.
