Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books | Emily Bestler Books for gifting me a digital and physical ARC of the debut thriller by Lenore Nash. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Lake Harlowe is working as a State Department diplomat in Wellington, New Zealand, running away from her past, hoping for a calmer posting than her last. But then a young man is found dead in his AirBnB and soon after an exchange student, Bowie Bishop, vanishes. Lake becomes obsessed trying to find Bowie before time runs out.
I'm so excited with the hope that this is the first in a new series because I loved it. I'm not sure I've read a book about the duties of diplomats working to protect American citizens overseas, and it was an interesting storyline. Lake is a wonderful character = multilayered, willing to go outside the lines when she feels it's necessary, full of secrets from a complicated childhood, determined to get answers. The mystery kept me intrigued from the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
