Many thanks to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by a long-time favorite, John Grisham. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Paul and Chelsea have the perfect fairytale wedding, and then head to Paris for a dream honeymoon. But the dream turns to a nightmare when they are kidnapped while on a day trip. Who would kidnap them and why? It turns out they aren't the first couple this has happened to. The search for clues stretches across borders, with the FBI, CIA and French Intelligence trying to work out what's happening.
A departure from his normal legal thrillers, this book lends more to a spy/espionage thriller, with cat-and-mouse covert operations, and Grisham nails this genre as well. Still here is the tense, gripping plot line leaving you glued to the pages, with characters you will relate to and feel for. I especially liked both Stuart Nash, an attorney, and Rae Claire, a CIA officer, who get pulled in for a rescue effort. I also felt for the parents in this book, giving up everything for their children. A great new read from a wonderful author!
