Pretty good, this book moves well and there are thrills and twists and turns and suspense and spies and stuff, and for the most part it's well written.
The biggest problem, and I complained about this with the previous books, is that Mangan is just a boring nobody. Three books and I don't really have a feel for him. This outing the title character (Pearl) is a bit of a nobody too, and her parents are totally unbelievable. Really none of the characters are that meaningful or interesting except maybe Trish. Otherwise they're more like pieces the author is moving around the chessboard, but more or less cardboard cutouts.
I also couldn't for the life of me remember many of the finer details about who's who and what's what from the previous books. That's the problem with disposable spy thrillers with cardboard characters: the plots aren't memorable enough to sustain a series with one book a year.
