Ally Carter! Her books are always fast paced fun reads.A refresher reread for me so I can finally finish the trilogy. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes and one wrong move can make them all fall down. and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt.

Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. The thing is, nobody else believes her and there's no-one she can trust. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three certain things:ģ.
