For most couples, a quiet dinner for two at Auberge de la Reine Blanche on the Ile Saint Louis would be just the thing to smooth out the complications in a romance. But for gorgeous Mossad operative Delilah and trying-to-retire contract killer John Rain, nothing is ever easy, and when Rain sees a crew of hard-looking men setting up outside the restaurant, he realizes someone has been bringing her work home with her. Is it a hit - or something even worse? When it comes to killing, business and pleasure are the most dangerous mix of all.

Short and Deadly

Too short

This was a good short, but interesting story. It’s kind of hard to tell a good story in only three chapters. I would have wanted more. But no complaints.

Any additional comments?

It’s a brief story, but as it it needs to be. It’s a sunset that shouldn’t have been more. I’m relieved it wasn’t. (Though I suspect the next Rain novel will be Rain saving Delilah and getting back with her....Graveyard of Memories is a flashback novel, like what Lee Child did with Reacher when delaying his journey to the voice of the woman in DC....if anyone knows what I’m talking about, ha.)

I’m not sure that the ending is left “open.” In real life people break up and don’t look back. I doubt that will being the case in series’ long run, but for now it is.

It’s what it needs to be.

I normally dont listen to short stories but this one was an answer to why John and Delilah broke up. For fans of both of these characters, its a little more insight into their personalities.

great short story

the sound quality was poor, the s's too sibilant.
Normally I find Eisler's voice pleasant to listen to. Not so much this time.
Also irritatingly sloppy pronunciation of French words.

Besides not liking the story very much
