OVERKILL: AN EMMA STREAT MYSTERY by EUGENIA LOVETT WEST
6 Jun
A STYLISH, UPSCALE MYSTERY
An opera singer, race car driver, and an English lord–author Eugenia Lovett West creates a compelling stew with her upscale characters and locations. The action moves from Vienna to Boston, London, and Ireland as heroine Emma Streat tries to solve two murders–and stop an international ring of traffickers in deadly viruses. I found Emma Streat a compelling heroine: an elegant, resourceful mature woman with courage and wit. I found myself thinking of another Emma, Emma Peel of the original Avengers serial, who also broke stereotypes as she tracked criminals. I can’t wait to read the next book in the Emma Streat series.
