This is the first book in a series of three so far, and it&#8217;s very good.  Cassie is a likeable character as are many of the supporting cast (plus some really bad people too).  Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericlee.info\/blog\/review-zero-days-by-ruth-ware\/\">some other London-based thrillers I&#8217;ve read recently<\/a>, this is a genuinely modern story with a powerful young woman as the lead.
