Review
From chapter one, I was hooked. Where did this dead body come from? The author wasted no time getting into the mystery and piqued my interest.
The dialogue kept the story progressing, and I felt like I was in the room with the characters listening. The book spans locations across multiple countries, and the descriptions are perfect. I could visualize the change in locations while staying in the moment with the characters. The balance of descriptions and dialogue can be tricky to maintain, but Peter Pontsa did a great job.
It was an interesting story that pulled on the reader’s heartstrings. What would I do if a family member was held against their will? To what lengths might I go? I couldn’t stop reading until I knew what happened.
If you enjoy a good multi-country mystery, this book is for you.
