This is an action driven thriller with an intelligent female protagonist and relentless pace. The characters are well rendered, the dialogue flows well and it's not clunky or awkward, and the star of the show is beautifully drawn settings and descriptions. Set in and around Paxos, Greece, the island paradise setting is used to advantage against the very palpable sense of threat and dread. Excellent writing.
Four stars. Fast paced, delicious, beach read or weekend binge.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
