A shop for Killers offers up an interesting take on the assassin genre.

A main character who inherits a dark web weapons shop from her uncle for assassins and mercenaries, is an interesting premise. It builds well, with the main character discovering how much genetic commonality, she shares, with her presumably deceased, ex-mercenary uncle.

What lets this series down somewhat are the absurdly unrealistic fight scenes, be they armed or unarmed,not to mention the constant switching between past,present and different aspects of the story. It makes the overriding tale difficult to follow and tends to defuse, mounting tension and excitement.

In summary, a novel idea with a complex interesting story and characterisations. Let down somewhat by implausible fight scenes and a failure to focus consistently, on the main story line.
