Welcome to the world of the coolest assassin ever! She’s smart, funny, can multi-task, and oh, she’s married, with two little girls and belongs to the PTO club. I said she was able to multi-task! Somebody Worth Killing is a seriously hilarious, smart story with thrills that will give you chills, about a normal mom and wife who adores her family but has a secret. Her passion in life is killing people who have done something wrong, like stolen from the elderly, or scrimps on medications to people who really need it, etc. Of course, no one knows what she really does for a living, except her handler, and another assassin, a male who have known each other for years. But when she decides she wants a job more like what the men get, with way more money well, be careful what you wish for!
Nadia Davis is a suburban mom happily married to Brian who is a management consultant. But, when her family goes to bed, she opens up a secret room in the bouse and becomes “the assassin”. And she’s very good at her job. Ever since in high school when she discovered her sister was being abused by her boyfriend and she well, made sure he could never do that to anyone again, the urge has never left. Is she a psychopath? Probably. But the apple does not fall far from the tree…she and her grandmother seem to think alike.
But after her latest kill she is talking to her male assassin friend only to discover that some of the men assassins are paid much better than she. What? So, she places a call to her handler and through very secret channels gets a hit on someone. Now she’s really in the big leagues! Although from the start this hit is different. She must figure out a poem in order to find the bad guy. Wow he must be really terrible!
Then she finally figures out where he is and when she sees him as he is getting out of the car with another woman and she’s all set to do her job he moves a certain way and… oh dear God…it’s her husband! This is impossible! Brian has a nine to five job. Yes, sometimes he travels, like he is supposed to be right now, but seriously?
So now, Nadia must figure out why Brian has a hit on him and what on earth bad things he has been doing. In the process she must evaluate the situation, her life as she knows it and her life if and when she has to kill her husband.
Somebody Worth Killing is such a fun read with wonderful twists and turns. Yes, there is an intensity, but the story is filled with so much mystery, surprise and shockingly a whole lot of love!
