The Lost Key by J.T. Ellison, Catherine Coulter
4.0
The Lost Key by Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison is a 2015 Jove publication.
Another action-packed thriller in the “Brit in the FBI” series!
The first book in this series was a very clever caper style thriller, but this second book is a globe-trotting adventure tale, and is every bit as entertaining!!
It’s Nicholas’s first official day of work for the FBI and he makes quite an impression after a man is killed on Wall Street. The story takes off from there, when several puzzling leads direct Nicholas and his partner, Mike, towards a high level organization, a cache of gold, and a very dangerous weapon, but the key they need to unlock the treasure is lost.
With the bodies piling up, Nicholas and Mike must race against the clock to prevent the weapon from falling into very dangerous hands.
The pacing here is a bit slower, but the plot is much more intricate, with a large cast of characters to keep up with.
We learn more about Nicholas’ past, but Mike’s personal life is not as fleshed out, again- as of yet, anyway, but I hope we get a little more of her backstory soon.
This story has a ‘James Bond’ feel to in a way and is purely for fun and entertainment. This story is just what the doctor ordered for me this week, offering an escape from some hefty issues. I can’t wait to find out what Nicholas and Mike will be working on next!!
