If you're looking for a good action mystery with a strong female lead, Zoe Sharp and the Charlie Fox mysteries are worth a read. Charlie Fox is ex-British Special Forces. Charlie (Charlotte) is tough and you wouldn't want her as an enemy. She also struggles with issues from her past, her family, and her ex-boyfriend.

Riot Act is the second book in the series. The story is set in England. It's witty, funny, full of smart action, and has a little twist at the end that genuinely surprised me.

These books were somewhat hard to acquire. I ordered Riot Act from a place that specializes in out of print books. My copy came used from New Zealand...which was kind of cool.

My advice is to shop around for these book because the price range is pretty wide. They are even hard to get on interlibrary loan.

Charlie is someone you'd much rather have as a friend than an enemy. She's tough and independent but has her vulnerabilities. In this second book, we learn more about Charlie's past so she's taking on more dimensions. The action is fast-paced and suspenseful; with a twist I didn't see coming at all. I'm pleased to have found this series and delighted to know there are more books waiting for me.
