Résumé :
A EDGY, GRIPPING BRIDGET JONES WITH A BADASS TWIST, THE PERFECT PAGE-TURNER FOR FANS OF DAWN O'PORTER AND ALLISON PEARSON.
Prepare to meet Lex Tyler. The ambitious, uncompromising and completely compelling heroine a generation has been crying out for.
It's Lex's first day back at work after maternity leave. Her suit is too tight and she worries about the separation from her daughter as she leaves her with the nanny - but it's normal to worry, right?
But Lex isn't a 'normal' mother. She's an elite-trained killer who works for a covert department within Her Majesty's Secret Service. She's just been given the assignment of her life, but can she juggle motherhood with the life of an assassin and prove to everyone, including herself, that she's still the best?
Her world just isn't ready for an operational new mother.
But woe betide anyone who ever tells Lex Tyler 'you can't'.
Sharp, brilliant, explosive and absolutely page-turning, KILLING IT intelligently explores the emotional journey every working mother goes through, as well as introducing a badass heroine that you won't forget....
