The Thing with Margot

By: Timothy Best

Narrated by: Kate Wisniewski

Margot Laurent seems like the perfect girl next door. She likes romantic movies, baking, decorating, listens to chirpy love songs, and she never uses foul language because she thinks it’s unladylike. Yep, she’s many a man’s dream. Except she also happens to be a deadly assassin for a foreign government.

When a hit goes wrong in London, Margot is sent into hibernation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. There she meets Bennett Chambers, a charming but unassuming history professor. Both he and Margot see something special in one other, and when the sparks start to fly, so do the bullets when the brother of Margot's latest victim comes seeking revenge. Get ready to laugh, cry, and go 'round the world on a heart-pounding adventure. The thing with Margot is - she's killer fun!

Loved This Listen!

I had a long drive to visit family over the holidays and downloaded this book for the road. It made the time pass quickly! The story was great and the narration really brought the characters and setting to life. LOTS of action and romance! It's one of those "driveway" books- where you sit in the driveway after you get where you're going because you want to find out what happens next! Good thing there were still chapters left for the ride home!

I wanted to like it but . . .

I stayed til the end but was put off by clumsy writing, unrealistic characters and gratuitous, brutal violence. There are some likable characters. This was a waste of time for the most part.
