As the new head of the Secret Intelligence Service, Davina Graham faces her most daunting challenge: solving a series of seemingly random political murders in international waters

The first female head of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, Davina Graham is taking a well-deserved holiday with her lover, advertising executive Tony Walden. But her Venetian idyll is short-lived. On the Grand Canal, widowed US Secretary of the Defense Henry Franklyn and his daughter are killed when a bomb blows their gondola to smithereens. The local police believe it was the work of the rabid Red Brigade or the Palestine Liberation Organization because Franklyn was a Jew. But Davina is certain that Igor Borisov, the power-hungry head of the KGB who ordered the assassination of Davina’s Russian defector husband, is behind it. 

Another murder soon makes international headlines: the massacre of France’s minister of the interior and her family. Then the Soviet prime minister is killed in Poland, followed by the death of a pacifist British priest in London. The assassinations bring Davina’s ex-lover out of retirement. Forced to once again join forces with Intelligence agent Colin Lomax, while coping with a sudden death in her own family, Davina is determined to find evidence linking Borosov to the executions. The hunt leads to a shadowy organization called the Company of Saints, a private brigade of hired killers whose chilling end game is just beginning.
 
The Company of Saints is the 4th book in the Davina Graham Thrillers, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

A nicely done finish for the series. This is a good story and I am happy with a tidy ending. Presumably the characters lived happily ever afterwards.

Have been reading spy novels by the ton this year, and was beginning to worry about a dwindling supply of good ones.

A little embarrassed to admit I’d never even heard of “Ms Anthony” before this. Now she has another fan. What reservations I have about the present book are minor. There are moments where the writing is actually beautiful, as well as insights worth remembering. The question is, which book to read next.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointing Denouement
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
Of all the books in the Davina Graham series - there are four - I felt this one was the weakest. The plot line maintained continuity with the previous three books (all of which were much, much better written), but the plot itself felt muddy and ill-thought-out. I would still recommend buying this book if you've read the other three, because the personal life of the heroine is brought full circle in this book, and characters introduced in the previous books also complete their tale satisfactorily. The professional life of the heroine is what disappoints, and disappoints greatly.

Someone is killing people that are close to world leaders. Each country is blaming their rivals, until every country has been targeted. A shocking twist ending.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Vacation in Venice Turned Upside Down.
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2006
This is one of Ms. Anthony's earliest mystery novels. We find ourselves in Venice, which she calls the most beautiful city in the world. Ms. Grahan, head of British intelligence is headed there on a Venetian holiday and due to unexpected circumstances has to arrange a meeting with her Soviet counterpart. A good-looking blonde/blue eyes assassin has beat her there on a mission, traveling on a false name. He was not there to enjoy the beauty and pigeons or anything else.

First target is the Secretary of Defense from the United States when a bomb is tossed his way. Then, attempts are made on the lives of the French diplomat, a British priest, and a KGB agent. The assassin was instructed to leave the modest pensione where he had rented a room after his mission was accomplished and go to a house on the Street of the Assassins, as nobody would think of looking for him there. Sometimes, the devil's advocates like to think of themselves as saints; I am aware of some in L.A. and Denver, perhaps that one in New York, who conspire to cause havoc and keep their jobs at the same time. Two are saints, Winston and Charles. The other two are devils of the worst sort.

Davinia finds that her personal chaos and the political consequences make her not trust anyone even her closest allies. This intrigue is fairly typical of Evelyn Anthony. I read her 'Doll's House' a long time ago. She knows the Russian way of thinking and doing, you can say that for her.
