3 Skeleton Key


Alex has a simple assignment, go to the tennis tournaments and find out who broke in, and didn't steal anything. But it's not that easy, Alex uncovers a plot by a violent gang. When Alex busts their party he becomes a target for assassination by angry gang members. MI6 suggests that Alex needs a break, somewhere he won't be found. What better idea that to complete two CIA agents covers as being their kid? It's just a routine mission, no risk. Yah, Right.

People are still trying to kill him. If you didn't like the last three (why are you reading this?) this book is NOT for you, the action is stepped up a notch. Alex is used again and becomes more unhappy, hurt and frustrated. A man shoots himself in front of Alex.

Alex puts his life on the line to save people. Though he doesn't like his job, he does it well. He doesn't try and get back at Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones. Reminiscent of a Bible verse maybe?

The first two are light hearted compared to this one. It may sound like I keep stressing this point, and I am, but it is important to me that you understand what I am saying. No, this series is not too dark to read, not bloody and gruesome in ways that will make your parents shudder, but for some of you it may be too much. Just because I recommend it doesn't mean you should read it.
