The Cairo Affair by Olen Steinhauer

To be reviewed
My mom loaned me the FirstReads copy that she won awhile back and I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it. The complex spy tale presents the story from different perspectives -- each chapter is told from the perspective of one of the characters -- and shifts around in time. Despite not knowing what point in time (less the chapters that are marked as occurring in 1991) at the beginning of the chapter, the gaps in the story are eventually filled in and motivations are revealed as the story unfolds. This book held my attention from start to finish and made me want to read more by this author. I enjoyed being kept guessing with each chapter and stayed up late one night to finish this one. The sleep deficit the next day was totally worth it! If you enjoy tales filled with international intrigue and conspiracy theories that may or may not be true, this is definitely a book you'll want to check out.
