The book is a page turner from page one! Their characters have depth, the story is riveting and uncertainty fills one with worry, tension and you just keep reading and reading! Thank you Christopher Greyson for a fast paced, action filled story! Anna B617 9

Kiku was introduced to me in the Jack Stratton series but here I get an in depth look at who she really is.
The softer side of her is shown by her love for a man and compassion for a boy. Don’t think this makes her weak. Kiku is still an assassin you don’t want to mess with. She’s a complex character who is scary and intriguing. Every time I think I have her figured out she surprises me. The one thing I know, don’t betray her or you better watch your back.
This book is a wicked ride through America, Japan, and beyond. Full of nonstop action it grips you from the very beginning and you won’t put it down until the end.
Highly recommended. SAuthor 8 books17

Is this a movie yet? This needs to be a movie.

I love a book that paints such a perfect scene I lose myself. A Beautiful Place to Die does that with every page. I started it before work this morning, and just finished. It’s 9:30 p.m. I don’t know what to do with myself now. Absolutely perfect. The character development is superb, interactions are realistic, just enough comic relief to keep me from losing my mind, action scenes are well thought out and clear. Not ONCE did I have to stop and reread sections for clarity, which is amazing because I do that with nearly every book.

I’ll say it again, this needs to be a movie if it isn’t already. I’m geeked for the next book. 2022-read 5-star-reads-2022-23 Sharon Gable72

Wow and then Wow again. What a book. I couldn't put it down, it was so exciting and fast paced. I knew I would it because I d Kiku in the Jack Stratton books but this was beyond anything I would have expected! Great writing. I have already downloaded book 2 and certainly will also get book 3. It looks a continuing story so I imagine lots of excitement ahead. Will be hoping for more after that. What a woman! Wendy680

A great new protagonist - Asian assassin Kiku. Interesting back story about the Japanese crime dynasty and their codes of honor, duty, and obedience. Kiku's newest assignment cuts her to the bone and she comes to realize no matter what she does, there is no satisfactory outcome. There are several twists and turns, betrayals, and a disease kid at the heart of the problems. Fast and engaging read. Juledith L Marshall104

Kiku a force to be reckoned with

Totally loved loved loved this! So unexpected to see an adventure starring the mysterious Kiku from the Jack Stratton series.

Can't wait to delve more into her world and watch as she wreck havoc on anyone and anything in her path.

This was action packed and enjoyed learning more about Kiku. Beth33 2

I’ve read all of Christopher Greyson’s books and have loved them all. This book is no exception. KIKU IS KICK ASS! I first met the mysterious Kiku in the Jack Stratton series. In this book we learn more about her childhood, what makes her tick and what she will do to protect those she loves. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Read this book. Gloria Rose48 1 follower

a full train ride of action

Sooo good. I’m not sure how to describe all the feelings this book brought forth. The action was terrific the protagonist even better. You were made to feel how each character felt. I loved how the fighting made you feel even more for the characters. Good versus evil in spades. I can’t wait to read the next book. Robert74 1 follower

A lot of killing, but wow !!

A truly powerful depiction of the arrogance of the Japanese warlord mentality. Nothing is as prideful as the the untainted blood of the Japanese ... all others of mixed race are dogs to be used and abused.
I enjoyed the tale of Kiku and her battle to save Alex from his grandfather's wrathful pride.. it really is non-stop action ! Bob91

non stop action!

I was loving every part of the story. Top notch writing. Wonderful killer protagonist. Plenty of plot twists. And then it left me hanging….needing to read the next book to hopefully come to some conclusion. So on to Amazon to buy the next kindle book and get right back to reading. Joe Cochran210 4

This was not only a good read but a fun read as well. I really enjoyed this book, the action and the storyline worked very well together. I can't say enough about this and how impressed I was. It flowed so easily that I was actually disappointed when I had come to the end. Highly recommended for action readers. Farhan293 5

Solid 5/5. What an amazing book.. what action.. what characters! Cannot wait to read the rest of the two books of the series. Kiku is bound to be the next super heroine character. Why is this book not being considered for a movie or TV series? bonny french20

Can't wait to read the next book...

I read this book, ignoring chores and everything but sleep. I'm ordering the next book right now. I forgot how talented Greyson was and is. The Yakuza book #1 was so well crafted, I ate the story up. Sonal H1 review

As always, A treat to read.


Christopher Greyson is a master story-teller. I was hooked on to the Jack Stratton series.. Now I am a big fan of Kiku as well!

I really enjoyed the Jack Stratton books, so I decided to give this one a go. I did not it very much. The plot was out of this world unbelievable and there was too much killing and violence for my taste. I should have known this by the title of the book. Lynne Alexander Hollingsworth41 3

awesome

Excellent exciting story. I recommend it highly. Don’t read late at night because you won’t be able to put it down . I want more! I hop I get to read all of the other books. Conrad SamayoaAuthor 11 books2

What a treat. Kiku, the main character, is not only smart but lethal. So much info on the Japanese mob and Japanese culture. The novel is fast paced and the end is unexpected. I could not put it down. Conrad ukkindlecustomer136

Who Would Win in a Fight Between....

Plenty of fights: fistfights, knife fights, gunfights, in action packed thriller with engaging characters, unexpected turns and multiple missing body parts. GW593

A Beautiful Place to Die -

This was a good book. I gave it 4 stars just because it was a "cliff hanger". The reader has to read the next book for a resolution. That said, it was well written and hard to put down. Cedrick WilsonAuthor 5 books7

It's a typical story of a bad ass killer who has to reluctantly watch over a child and while the child is annoying at first, the killer starts to them. The author did a good job of making it action packed and giving us a different background. What I didn't was the cliffhanger. steven Ritzwoller1 review

Story was not finished

This was a good story but the book ended before the story did. This was just a teaser to buy more books, which I will not do. I have eliminated author from future buys.

Best book since Jack Stratton Series

Can't put the book down. Love that Jack and Alice are mentioned in the book. Can't wait to read the rest of the books. Darrell464

adrenaline rush

This was an adrenaline rush of a story and I forgot about Kiku in Jacks story.
This seems to be a good spin off series I will enjoy reading! Kirk472 2

Fast paced

Well written, good characters, and a damn good story. This is a fast paced ride from State to State, lots of gun play, and an amazing assassin called Kiku! Tony Fecteau1,241 5

Talk about crazy action! Kiku is fearless and is always in survival mode. The mystery in the story develops very slowly. Karen Devine520 4

Awesome writing!

Christopher Greyson never disappoints! I loved characters and their interactions, kept me hooked from beginning to end! Can't wait for the next one. Jack Rilkoff380 4

This was a very good read. There was action throughout. erina a litz17
