Playing Dirty is part of a series of books, but I read it as a standalone.
The blurb says:
"Honey Pursamon has a brief - and the file of names is huge!
Set the honey trap! Lure the opposition into bed, get lurid photos and destroy them, one by one!
The Slash and Byrne Progressive Party want to take over the House of Commons, starting with a sleazy sex scandal code-named Operation Trouser Snake. Slash & Byrne also organise a gas attack on Parliament. Who will survive?
Using Ambronootrop to make their members more intelligent and to move along the evolution of the human race, S&B will stoop to new depths."
I actually really enjoyed it. It's very gripping, and very easy to read. Initially I found it a little tricky to keep all the characters straight in my head, but that sorted itself out swiftly enough. I liked all the intricacy and duplicity in the plot.
Given the prologue, I would have liked Angela to get some kind of revenge/see the downfall of S&B party, but I'm guessing that will be in later books. I didn't feel lost because I hadn't read Superior. However, I would recommend reading Jim's Revenge and then Superior before reading this one, as the context helps.
Overall, my only disappointment is that the rest of the series hasn't been written yet, and I want to know what happens next!
