Shot Through the Heart by Claire Donniere

I like a good thriller so I thought I would give this a go.
At first I wasn’t sure as it was a little slow but it soon picked up the pace.
A senator being protected by the secret service – with the protagonist being the agent in change of protection. How good is this agent? Well, she’s just back from sick leave after being shot on duty – because she threw herself in front of the bullet. Not a job for me. I think I’d rather get the sack.
On her way to the job she bumps into a woman at the airport. A little flirting – nothing major. She just happens to work for the senator, has a history of dead ex’s, is a suspect. And of course a lesbian.
She needs to be tested by an undercover op.
There’s a few new agents on the team who need to prove themselves, a couple of baddies, a bucket of paint and blood, a few set ups, has the team all running around to try and figure out who to trust and who is trying to get at the senator.
The story is entertaining with a few red herrings swimming about.
I would say the actual baddie was obvious to the reader- but it didn’t detract from the story.

I would recommend this – it was a fun read.
