Praise for Winter from listeners of Winter Dark
Winter is a vivid character with a daring, wild attitude - a heroine who breaks the stereotype of government spies and action heroes. I could almost picture her and and Jack Reacher meeting in a dark alley, knowing Winter would give him a run for his money.
- CarolC
So unusual to have a good, strong, female lead character and in Winter Dark we finally have one.
– twolittletinkers
Winter is the perfect protagonist mixing Lara Croft/Jason Bourne
- Stephen Hollins
Summary
Winter returns to face the most feared hitman of all time, the Guardsman.
Winter has put the world of organised crime into crisis by unmasking its boss, Alek Konstantin. Hunted and permanently on the run, he has been caught on camera in Mexico, Virginia and Marseille. Retracing his steps, Winter attempts to uncover his motives and bring the world's most wanted man out of hiding using the tracker he embedded in her wrist. But things aren't quite that simple. After finding Lucy and watching her die a sickening death, Winter's desire to bring down the legendary Guardsman overrides her orders. Knowing Firestorm’s top contract killer is experimenting on victims, she takes a contract out on herself to catch him.
Once again disguised as her alter ego, Snow White, Winter follows the Guardsman to Moscow expecting to spring the trap. However, things aren't quite what they seem. Who is the Guardsman and why does he know everything about Winter? With the reality of the situation unravelling as the world’s leaders assemble in London, just how much has Winter underestimated her opponent and is the realisation all too late?
Winter faces her biggest challenge yet in this dark commentary on our surveillance society.
Critic reviews
"If you like Becky Sharp or Emma Peel or Lisbeth Salander, you will love Winter: she can out-punch Bourne and out-pull Bond. And her zinging one-liners leave Jack Reacher for dead." (Andy Martin, author of Reacher Said Nothing and With Child.

I’m glad Winter is here again.
I have eagerly awaited this release and I have not been disappointed.
This (and the first book) has been a gripping and entertaining listen. It’s everything you could want in your classic modern spy story. Alex’s writing is fast paced and satisfying. I love how her descriptions, sense of immediacy and use of place draw you into the action. Ell Potter skilfully brings the characters to life.
Why has it taken the literary world so long to come around to writing with a strong female lead like Winter? The Winter series are the thrillers that I wish had always been around. I can’t wait for the third book.

An author going from strength to strength
I was looking forward to this landing on my in box and it has not disappointed a continuation in both writing and performance.
Alex and Ell go from strength to strength.
