3.6.2018 - The Escape Artist

The Escape Artist

Many thanks to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing, and Brad Meltzer for the opportunity to read and review his latest thriller - I loved it!

I've been a huge fan of Brad Meltzer for decades and his latest work is another great one.  As in all his books, it is meticulously researched and you learn so much - this time is was about the government mortuary department.  I'm in awe of the care they take of the fallen soldiers' remains and am grateful for all of those morticians who "have heart."

Jim "Zig" Zwicharowski is one of those morticians working at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.  He is struggling with his own grief issues after the loss of his doctor.  When there is a plane crash in Alaska that draws the attention of everyone from the President down, he realizes that one of the dead is identified as Nola Brown, a classmate of his daughter's.  Or is it?  There begins the mystery to try and uncover all the secrets about this plane crash and its passengers as well as the tie to Harry Houdini himself.

A great thriller that I couldn't put down.  Another winner by Meltzer - pick this one up today!
