This series is really one tale, and the three titles should ideally be read back-to-back, so line 'em up before you start. The narrator, soon established as Elliot Chase, then zooms out to address the reader directly, introducing the players—most importantly movie star Lana Farrar. Bradby continues to do provide spy craft and frame details while providing CH growth, maintaining a varying Pace, and ramping up the Tone. There were some unanswered questions left in this book, so I'm pleased that there will be a third book, which will be published next year! With proof of the PM involved in a sordid scandal and a financial paper trail that undeniably links him to the Russians, the evidence seems bulletproof.

I really enjoyed this second installment and hope for more racing round Europe battling against her internal demons and treachery at home and at work. As I want to tread carefully with respect to spoilers for ‘Secret Service’, I will be vague about the plot for ‘Double Agent’. Bradby captures these permutations, with their subtle configurations of change and continuity in realpolitik, with a deft touch.Very quick and easy to read novel with an engaging plot which keeps the reader engaged until the last minute!

If you're considering reading "Double Agent", take into consideration that this is a second book, "Secret Service" being the first, and you'll have to read the first one as the plot of "Double Agent" continues directly from the first- otherwise, it'll be vert difficult to understand the plot or get into the swing of things.
