"...kids know this better than anyone, that you have to do it all right now, everything, because this can always happen without any warning whatsoever: you're out of time."
First of all, if you haven't read the first book in the Kate Moore duet, THE EXPATS -- STOP. This book won't make as much sense to you without doing so. Second, the synopsis provided by the publisher is clear in describing the topic and plot. I don't want to give any spoilers so won't go into anymore detail about it.
This thriller was a great follow up novel and every bit as good as the first. Ex CIA agent Kate Moore is quite an interesting character and I enjoy her personal reflections almost as much as I admire her calculating mind. She's a quick study and her ambivalence about being a stay-at-home mom vs pursuing her former career makes what she actually does with her time even more absorbing. Kate and her family are living an expat life in Paris when the events of this particular day jar her from what has become a nearly happy and satisfying semblance of domesticity. There are many characters, red herrings, cross and double cross, and a lot of action. Great tension. Remarkable writing. I really enjoyed it. You definitely won't want to miss this sequel and, dare I hope, there will be more?
Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the e-book ARC to read and review.
This is a sequel and should not be read unless you've read #1.
Genre - espionage thriller
