Book 17: The Names of the Dead by Kevin Wignall
This was one of my Amazon First Reads selections this month. The expected publishing date for the book is sometime in February.
Wes is a disgraced CIA agent in prison for giving the order to shoot down a helicopter full of friendly passengers. He gets early release when his ex-wife is killed in a bombing of a cafe in Spain. A young son, Wes has no idea even existed, is missing. Wes must clear his name, the CIA wants him dead, and find his son once he gets out of prison. Help will come from unlikely places as Wes moves across Spain, Portugal, and other places in Europe.
So this book, hmmmmm. I was ready to abandon it at one point, but stuck it out and finished. The writing was simplistic, easy for me to skip over some of it as not important to the story. I did like Wes and his sidekick Mia, would have liked more about Mia, and that may be what made me finish the book. As far as spy books, or books that involve a kill or be killed theme, this was not close to my favorite, not Jason Bourne or anything (Colin would say "My mum fancies him". Anyone know where this quote comes from?) . My rating 2.5 ⭐️ .
