There’s a plot switch starting at chapter 19 to a flashback from Alison’s POV. What a pair… I love the hold Alison has over Natalya despite Natalya thinking she’s always in control and not even being able to explain it herself. At first glance she’s described by the assassin as a “tiny mouse of a creature” that “broadcasted helplessness”. (I love an ice queen but she tittered on the edge of unlikable at times) Alison Ryan (34): Forced to take care of her ill/acid tongued mother, government worker, lover of classical music, with no dirt on her personnel file. Now hired for a no questions asked kill at double the fee. Trained in the art of cello and lethal assassination, specializing in the corrupt aussie underworld. Natalya Tsvetnenko aka Requiem (41): She’s hot but she’s the cold blooded daughter of a military man. I got used to it eventually as the story went along. I occasionally had to listen at 1.1x speed. Anais Inara Chase has a lovely voice, but it was read way too slow for me. I enjoyed the australian reading and variety of voices for the characters.
