REVIEW
The Traitor by Ava Glass
Alias Emma #2
Action-packed thrill-ride from beginning to end ~ It had no trouble jumping into book two without reading the first in the series though wouldn’t mind reading it, too, someday.
What I liked:
* Emma Makepeace: works for The Agency - a small British governmental intelligence group, secretive-can’t share anything about her work with friends or family, father was a spy, bright, dedicated, lethal, possible adrenaline junkie, sometimes made decisions and acted in ways I knew wouldn’t work out well for her, intriguing and filled with potential
* Charles Ripley: her boss, has worked for The Agency for many years, wise, seasoned, keeps information close, no family, not sure if he has friends, seems to care about Emma…as much as he is able to, dedicated to his work,
* Zach: IT specialist and gadget guru – want to know more about him
* Martha: disguise specialist – big personality that may be explored more in the future
* Others introduced that might have parts in future books
* Wondering how spies ever manage to have personal lives or fall in love AND if Emma will find someone to be with
* Thinking about how much of what Emma did in the story would be doable in real life – even though it makes a riveting read – was it realistic?
* The plot, pacing, settings, twists and turns, and how it was all tied up at the end
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the characters willing to do what they did for money…all of them
* Thinking about how lonely the lives of spies must be
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to Penguin and Moonflower Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Fast, furious, and totally addictive…
…meet Britain’s female Bond!
From the glittering shores of St. Tropez to the sun-drenched streets of Barcelona, The Traitor is former spy insider Ava Glass’s high-octane thriller set in the billionaires’ playground of the glamourous French Riviera.
A dead body in a padlocked suitcase, chemical weapons, and an MI5 traitor selling secrets to the Russians sets the scene for British agent Emma Makepeace’s thrill packed mission on the med.
Emma must go undercover, working below deck as a crew member on luxury super yacht The Eden. Setting sail from St Tropez, The Eden’s Russian owner and his bikini-clad supermodel girlfriend are under surveillance by MI6, suspected of procuring illegal weapons from the UK.
Out at sea with no escape, Emma must tread carefully as she races to uncover who the traitor on board the oligarch’s yacht is. Witnessing a murder and with her cover wearing increasingly thin, one false move and she could be dead. As the hunt intensifies, Emma must find the traitor before he finds her.
From a glittering yacht party to a powerboat chase over deadly rocks, and from living below deck to being hunted through the streets of Barcelona, never before has the turquoise sea and golden sands of the Rivera been so deadly.
If you love The White Lotus, you will devour Ava Glass’s second novel The Traitor - and fans of Ava Glass’ 2020 debut The Chase (which is currently shortlisted for Best Spy Novel at the 2023 Crime Writer Awards) will not be disappointed.
A massive new talent in British fiction, Ava Glass’s storytelling is complex and finely crafted, combining twisting plotlines, intelligent dialogue and ambiguous characters, all skilfully brought together in an epic climax. Never before has spy fiction been so nail-bitingly real.
