They had their similarities just like people.

Every city had its own unique feel, and Rapp had learned to pay attention to the ebb and flow of their natural rhythms. It was that rare moment of relative inactivity that even a city as vibrant as Paris fell under once each day. Sunrise was a few hours off and the flow of late-night revelers had faded to a trickle. He glanced at the balcony two floors below and then looked out across the City of Light. But I still feel that the story had the potential to being something more than just another typical thriller.RAPP secured the gray nylon rope to a cast-iron vent stack and walked to the edge of the roof. I mean, you can argue that ultimately all stories end up being the same, they all follow a pattern and that original plot lines are the exception not the rule. I guess when you read many murder mysteries or political thrillers they all become one and the same, I don’t know. I knew the ending was going to turn out in Rapp’s favor and it would be sorted out, but the conclusion was open-ended so that was refreshing however I felt that it was still lacking creativity or originality. The thing about it is that it felt somewhat cliche and unrealistic.

The language is great: it’s simple, engaging, and it keeps you on the edge. I’ve read American Assassin and Term Limits by Flynn and I enjoyed them, but this didn’t wow me as much. (You’ll have to read the book if you want to know how that happens, see what I did there 😉 Shots are fired, fights take place, a new set of dead bodies is presented, evidence sabotaged, and finally Rapp returns to headquarters and things are sorted out. He goes on his own investigation and at the same time the agency believes that Rapp has gone rogue. He starts to suspect that there’s a mole at the agency and mistrusts everyone. During a mission in Paris he is ambushed, but manages to escape. The agency has compiled a list of terrorists, those related to them, and their financiers, and Rapp is working on crossing these names off. It tells the story of the operative Mitch Rapp a year after being recruited into the CIA’s special program. Kill Shot is the prequel to the Mitch Rapp series by the late Vince Flynn and the last book written by him.
