The Assassin by Stephen Coonts
3.0
I really like Tommy Carmellini as a character. He's quirky and daring and not necessarily all that smart, but he makes for enjoyable reading. This book switches back and forth between the 3rd person narrative and first person narrative from Carmellini's point of view. I can't remember any other books that switch between first and third person and back again - it's an interesting change.
Carmellini survives a couple of situations where he probably shouldn't - and those cases make the book feel a little far fetched. There are a couple of other situations that made me feel the same way. The rest of the plot moves along pretty well. The "is she or isn't she?" story surrounding Marisa Petrou makes for some interesting reading for a while. Overall this was a good quick read.
