This is book 2 in the Thea Paris series. I did not read the first book, but I did find this easy to follow, so I think it works well as a standalone.
The book is an edge-of-your-seat thriller with three different stories that tie together as the book progresses. In the acknowledgements at the end, the author thanks the experts that helped her make even the tiniest details accurate. I wondered as I read if she was experienced in scenarios like this, had close friends who were or did an incredible amount of research. From scenery to sights and sounds there are so many details that truly make this book come to life.
Not only did the author, K. J. Howe, write a fascinating book,rich with detail, but her characterization was also superb. She even went so far as to give background information about the bad guys, that showed the circumstances in their personal lives that in many cases justified, in their minds, the actions they chose to take.
This is worth reading for those who enjoy mysteries and thrillers.
