Silly but fun
First Drop is a lot of preposterous nonsense really, but it’s great fun.
Charlie is embarking on her close protection career by minding Trey, a rich, obnoxious teenage boy in Florida. Things become very involved indeed as there is an attempt on the boy’s life, his father’s work seems to be involved somehow and Charlie and Trey end up on the run from almost everyone, including the law.
Frankly, it’s packed with unlikely occurrences, implausible twists and so on, but Zoe Sharp writes well, Charlie is an engaging narrator and if you’re prepared to suspend disbelief from a great height as I was, it’s a lot of rather silly fun. A fan of the series has told me that this isn’t a favourite and that they get better so I’ll certainly read on, but meanwhile I can recommend this as a good, rather brain-off read.
