My first Tess Gerritsen reading experience. I found this book OK. It was a quick easy read.

Normalerweise gefallen mir die Romane von Tess Gerritsen sehr gut. Dieses Buch gehört zu ihrem Frühwerk und dieses blieb nicht unbemerkt. Es handelt sich um eine Spionagegeschichte zwischen Washington, London, Berlin und Amsterdam. Die Charaktere sind recht flach gestaltet und ich konnte keine wirkliche Verbindung zu ihnen aufbauen. Dennoch blieb die Handlung spannend, wenn auch keine allzu unerwarteten Dinge geschahen.

Went into this expecting an espionage/suspense/thriller story, which I got in some degree, but the amount of romance rubbish was just awful, cringe inducing and so poorly written.

Thank god Gerritsen's writing has improved since this.

Newlywed Sarah Fontaine receives a disturbing call about the accidental death of her husband, Geoffrey Fontaine. Convinced there has been a mistake and that he is still alive, she pairs up with Mick O’Hara from the US State Department, to uncover the truth.

I really do like Tess Gerritsen’s work but, to be honest, this felt like a cheap, shallow romance thrown on top of a thriller template. A very fast book to read.

A thriller/romance with too much romance. I mean, days after her husband is supposedly killed, the main character seems to be falling in love. Glad Tess Gerritsen has progressed on to much better stories and writing.

Een heerlijke fast-paced thriller met een vleugje romantiek. Perfect voor naast wat serieuzere boeken
