The Tourists

Mac Dekker, Book 2

De: Christopher Reich

Narrado por: Paul Michael

From the New York Times bestselling author of Matterhorn comes a heart-stopping thriller about a man who returns to a life of espionage to save the woman he loves and the City of Light.

Retired special agent Mac Dekker travels to Paris to propose to Ava Attal, once Mossad’s deadliest operative. After too long, life is good. But before he can propose, Ava leaves the table to take an urgent call. And never returns.

Mac launches a frantic search, spiraling through the city’s brightest and darkest places. People are lying, agents are dying, and he finds himself caught in the crosshairs of CIA shadows and enigmatic assassins while battling a wealthy, ruthless prince planning a truly terrifying act of violence.

With only hours to find Ava and save thousands of lives, Mac’s CIA training kicks in, along with his instincts: Is Ava truly missing, or did she come to Paris on a mission even more secretive than his own?

Totally On Par With Book 1, Matterhorn

Top notch thriller, and totally on par with the first book. While I personally find Arab antagonists to be boring, Reich does a great job of choosing an interesting Arab villain with an intriguing billion-dollar family, mixing governmental politics with family politics, all the while following Mac and his search for his Mossad lover.

Excellent work of fiction

I really enjoyed reading this book. The author kept us on the edge of our seats.

Not as good as the first

The plot seemed forced and the characters seemed flat and not as likeable. Seemed like the author needed to get another book in this series out and just ground this one out.

Disappointed

I really didn’t like this. It felt like the author wanted to check boxes not tell a compelling story.
