I liked this book and recommend it. What starts out as a wealthy man’s search for his wife who has disappeared after a vacation with her close college friends end up in typical Daniel Silva intrigue If you want to find out what happens then you need to read this book. I don’t want to give anything away that will spoil the book for others

A Pair of Aces

book cover


Although this story is historical fiction, it could have been pure fiction because it was unbelievable that Eunice Carter, a black women was able to break down the racial and sex barriers to achieve the life and career that is portrayed in this book. She is remarkable and could be a role model in the current day. Polly Adler was also a women to admire because she was able to survive a difficult situation of arriving in New York City from Russia alone. The fact that she was able to survive and strive is quite remarkable. The business in question, prostitution is quite disturbing and this make it a difficult read. All this said, I do recommend this book.

I loved this book and it was over 600 pages. I don't usually like long books but this one was so good I didn't want it to end. I felt like I was right there with all the characters. I read it faster than I read 300 page books that are just ok.

I definitely recommend reading this book! Thirty years ago Sarah Lingate is found murdered on the island of Capri and her murderer is never found. Her husband Richard was always a suspect. Now with the family returning to Capri for vacation, the family’s personal assistant, Lorna, is also found drowned reopening the investigation into Sarah’s murder. Helen, Sarah’s daughter is desperate to escape her family. What lengths would the wealthy and powerful take to cover up all family indiscretions? Read and find out. This story had a lot of unexpected twists and just when you think you have the answer, you find out you were wrong. This was a great read.

This is the third book in the Chief Inspector Gamache series. I love this mystery series, which takes place in the small village of Three Pines. The characters are wonderful! In this book, a seance is held, in a house we know well, during which someone dies. Was it a natural death, or was it murder? If murder, who is the killer?

Overall, Defy Me is a compelling and emotional read that delivers strong character development, gripping suspense, and an ending that makes it nearly impossible not to pick up the next book.
