One of my recent reads was Broken Windows, the sixth and final book in the Mikky Dos Santos thriller series. I have read and enjoyed all six books in the series and the prequel to the series, which I will share latter on here.
About: "Mikky’s task is simple. Find out who owns the valuable dagger, the talisman and symbol for a cult-like group in London’s underworld – a drugs gang led by the Asian, who controls the streets with ruthless violence. He recruits children: befriending them, grooming them, and controlling them through fear, as they package and sell drugs. The Dixon Trust provides a safe house and haven for these unprotected and extremely vulnerable kids. Run by Matt, an ex-convict, and supported by a local politician, Raymond Harris, these men are determined to rescue and protect the children, and save lives.
Given another chance, and taught by Matt, the Parks become experts in freerunning and parkour. It gives them a sense of worth and purpose, and when they’re asked to participate in an action-packed movie, their self-esteem knows no bounds.
None of them expects death.
Mikky gains access and insight into their world as she films a documentary. But devastated by shocking events, she is determined to find the dagger, and to flush out the cult leaders and hold them all to account – even if it means risking her own life."
This was very suspenseful and fast paced. As I mentioned above, it is the last book in the Mikky dos Santos series. The first chapter will grab you right away and you won't be able to read fast enough to find out what happens.
There is no down time for Mikky, in her attempt to find the dagger. As she snoops around and asks questions, she gets deep into danger. She partners with Peter to travel to Morocco to observe The Parks participating in a film. Mikky becomes close to some of the kids and makes it her mission to find out who is behind the drug ring that kidnaps lonely children and teenagers and forces them into the dangerous world of drugs. Mikky and Peter return to London with their report but as usual Mikky can't stay out of trouble and once again risks her life. Meanwhile her fiance Marco is traveling and he and Mikky can't seem to get time to be together or plan a wedding. With all of the chances Mikky is taking, and her addiction to danger, will there ever be a wedding for her?
I recommend you read the entire series. Each book is set in different countries with Broken Windows taking place in Morocco, Switzerland and London, England. We learn things about the countries the books are set in and the history and artifacts that the books are based on. The kids in Broken Windows participate in Parkour, which is a real sport. I of course wondered about it and looked it up.

Besides being a really good thriller, all of these extras are very interesting.
This was a fabulous ending to a fabulous series.
You can download the prequel for free from Janet Pywell's website and read more about Janet and her other books below. She is starting a new series now and I am looking forward to hearing more about that.
