Victor has fulfilled his last assignment for Maxim Borisyuk, in payment for a debt he accrued by killing the Russian’s son, when the mafia boss is murdered. Victor is suspect number one, and has to pull out all the stops to discover the real killer before it is too late.
Blood Debt is a cross between a thriller and a spy novel, slightly different from the other ten books in this fascinating series, as Victor sets about uncovering the truth behind Borisyuk’s death. The plot is complicated which makes it slow at the outset as all the different characters are introduced. The fight scenes are tense and gripping, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat, as Victor outwits his enemies. We are privy to what Victor is thinking, which helps to explain how he has managed to stay alive for so long.
Despite the twists and turns of the plot, this series is largely character driven – the main reason I have carried on reading – and here we get glimpses into his past that help us to view him as a complex, three-dimensional character and not just a stereotype. He is facing extreme danger from an unknown enemy, but keeps his eye on the ball as his very survival depends on it. I have been a fan of Victor since the very first book and hope that there will be many more to come. Thanks to Sphere and NetGalley for a digital copy to review.

Loved it!!
This action-packed thriller was another humdinger by Tom Wood and book number 11 in the Victor the Assassin series.
Our likeable assassin Victor, who hates any form of profanity, is back, and this time he's got to fight off quite a few people who are out to kill him.
Victor is doing one more favour for Maxim Borisyuk the head of the Bratva, then his debt is paid.
After a close call (again) in Afghanistan, Maxim asks Victor to meet him in London because he wants him to continue working for him, but before Victor can give him his answer Maxim is murdered and Victor must fight off the killer.
The Brotherhood is in turmoil because suddenly they have to find a new leader but was it one of them that was behind the murder of Maxim?
Their obvious suspect is Victor because not all of them believe that he had nothing to do with the murder. They allow him a few days to see if he can find out who was behind this killing but is everyone on the same page or not?
Who is hunting Victor and for what reason?

The style of writing keeps you engaged from the 1st page and if you don't believe me let me entice you with the first paragraph:

"Victor tried not to cause excessive damage. In part because he never liked making a mess. In part because killing someone was impolite enough without leaving their body in an untoward manner."

Thank you to Netgalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion
