Exit Strategy

This was more fun than I had expected it to be. I was curious to see Armstrong take on a non-supernatural genre, and she did it fairly well. It would have been easy for Nadia, the ex-cop turned hitwoman protagonist, to be cliche, but she's crafted into an interesting, likable character. If anything I'd say that's a running theme with the book in general: fairly pedestrian plot elements, but a level of craft and artistry behind the characters that more than makes up for that.
