The Last Agent by Robert Dugoni

Good, but not as good as the first one.

I really liked the first book, but I found this book to be a bit less enjoyable (though still good). I think it was the pacing and the tension. I'll likely still read the final installment

The Last Agent is second book in Charles Jenkins series. Although I did not read the first book before reading this book, the story flow did not seem disrupted. Its a spy story, a good one. Keeps us guessing and thrilling till the last like the other works of Robert Dugoni. Overall novel is like an action packed movie, like a Bond movie!! Definitely gonna read the first book in this series.
Thank you NetGalley, Robert Dugoni and Thomas & Mercer for reader’s copy of this book. The review is not influenced and is purely my own opinion.

I enjoyed number 2 in the series as much as the first. I liked the fast paced action and wondering if Charles was going make it back to his family in one piece. I wish that some of the action wasn’t so predictable. I was annoyed that the Russian agent always knew what move Charles was going to make. I think for it to be more realistic, some missteps could have been made.

I came by this author by accident and fell in love with the Tracy Crosswhite series so seeing this being offered, I couldn’t resist. The book did not disappoint at all. The characters are relatable, and the whole book is just well written, you must read it, especially if you like action packed books. Thank you to netgalley and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I first read Robert Dugoni with, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell. It was a fabulous story so I was excited to see this book offered as an ARC for my honest review.

This is the second book in a series. Book #1, The Eighth Sister, is recapped in the beginning of the story. Since I hadn’t read the first book it set the stage for the continuation of the story. The plot is very intriguing and takes place in Russia. I had difficulty with the names of the people, streets and cities so I had to fake it through. The dialogue was very realistic with the Russian characters words in Russian. Thank you Robert Dugoni for translating them into English directly following these parts.

I did lose some sleep over this book as the plot thickened and became so intense. I really loved the book and would definitely recommend it to anyone even if they are not espionage fans.

Thank you to Thomas & Mercer for this advanced copy. This is my honest review in my own words.

I didn't really like this book as much as the first one, but I did enjoy it. It is a continuation of the first book, so if you liked the first one, you should read this one. If you didn't read the first one, you should read it first.

The first book was more of a legal thriller than a spy novel, but this one was pure spy novel. It was a bit funny at times, when the misdirections got totally carried away. It seemed a bit much to me, but it was fun to read.

All in all, a pleasant read with a satisfying ending. Nothing to write home about, but still a fun read.

"The Last Agent" by Robert Dugoni is the second book to feature Charles Jenkins.. The first to feature Jenkins, "The Eighth Sister", was one of the finest spy thrillers I ever read and"The Last Agent" is just as amazing. It could be read as a stand alone novel as Dugoni does a fine job of giving enough backstory so you're not lost. But to get the entire sense of how epic both books are i would definitely read "The Eighth Sister" first. Either way you can't go wrong and I can't recommend this novel enough!
