Publisher's summary

A ringing phone in the middle of the night shakes newlywed Sarah Fontaine awake. Expecting her husband's call from London, she hears instead an unfamiliar voice. Nick O'Hara from the U.S. State Department is calling with devastating news: Geoffrey Fontaine, Sarah's husband of two months, died in a hotel fire...in Berlin.

Convinced her husband is still alive, Sarah forces a confrontation with Nick that finds them criss-crossing Europe on a desperate search for Geoffrey. Trying to stay one heartbeat ahead of a dangerous killer, they become quarry in the clandestine world of international espionage, risking everything for answers that may prove fatal.

Good Spy Story for the Price!

There's a lot of intrigue and cover-up in the death of Geoffrey Fontaine. When Nick O'Hara from the U.S. State Department called his wife to inform her of Geoffrey's death, Sarah said something that caused Nick to dig deeper into the man's life and death. Something was wrong, VERY WRONG!

Intrigue and romance!

Beth McDonald gave a good read. She has a very pleasant voice.

The 3 hours + was entertaining and well worth the price.

This one was a bit different but

Previously I have only read the Rizzoli and Isles series which is fantastic. This one was a bit different from the pacing to the story. I think is would have been easier to read than listen because there are just so many characters, there was a time or two I was wondering if I had the right one. But I did enjoy is as well as the outcome. I will definitely continue to try her work. I do feel this may have been an earlier story in her career though.

Maybe an abridge version of the book

I have the book from Amazon and this may be an abridged version of that book. At any rate, the story is not as polished as her later works, nor is the character development.

Too Far-fetched for Me

Narrator gave it her best shot, but too many characters to do well. Story lacked believability. For example, newlywed wife of missing man falls in love with investigator. Couldn’t finish book.

Good story!

I enjoyed the book, but the audio skipped chunks of the book….. very disappointing!
I would recommend the book but not the audio….
