Tiger Lily in London

Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London

The Tiger Re-awakens!

Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London (Volume 2 in the Tiger Lily Series) by Owen Jones is the second adventure story in a series that features a complex character doing bad things in order to make the world a better place. Lily is back. She will not allow child abusers to get away with their terrible crimes because of the abuse she suffered in her own life. By day she is working to become a doctor in London, but her secret alter ego creates her own murder weapons to use as she fulfils her mission to rid the world of paedophiles. She discovers a group of young people bound together in a type of gang with similar pasts as herself. Lily befriends the kids and eventually convinces them to let her work with them to better themselves and create healthier lives. Meanwhile she wants to discover who abused them…so she can exact her own kind of revenge.

Tiger Lily of Bangkok in London is a unique story because you are actually rooting for someone who is a murderer. I think Jones does a fantastic job of making his heroine do things that are typically associated with a villain, and yet I just loved Lily! Jones gave Lily such a terrible background and story that the reader can relate to her motivation. I understood why she did what she did and even rooted for her to accomplish her goals. It takes a talented writer to be able to make a reader go against what society has ingrained in them and root for someone doing something heinous like murder.
