Do you have an affinity for James Bond movies?
Do you have a likeness for the Mission Impossible franchise but oftentimes find yourself wondering what it would be like if Tom was a woman?
I have a series for you.
We meet up with Emma Makepeace on her next case. In THE TRAITOR Emma is put undercover to find out as much information about the last days of Steven Garrick, an MI6 elite agent who was recently found dead in his home.
I was able to listen to THE TRAITOR in audiobook format. Emma has a delightful British accent and I love listening my way through her exploits. The narrator for this audiobook is Sophie Colquhoun and is now inextricably linked to my enjoyment of the series.
THE TRAITOR was a great second installment in the Alias Emma series. I really got into the story of THE TRAITOR and became an even bigger fan.
