The Nearest Exit by Olen Steinhauer
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for this reader's copy. In exchange, I am providing an honest review.
This book picks up mere weeks following the first book in the series, The Tourist. Milo is back in the field...reluctantly...and being tested by his own people. He's fed up. Tina, his wife, and Stephanie, his daughter, miss him and he misses them. Tina isn't sure she can stay married to a man with so many secrets and he doesn't blame her but he can't let her go either. So he quits. But just because you leave the Company doesn't mean the Company has left you.
Another entertaining read in the series. If any of this is how our CIA and other agencies like it around the world behave and operate then I am terrified and kind of disgusted. What a huge expenditure of money, resources, and people's lives for spy games. Mind you, this doesn't mean I will stop reading these stories but I read them hoping they are just stories more than reality.
