What She Saw: A Novel di Gerard Stembridge
Suspense
Not bad.....just not great. Not quite what I expected from the synopsis. It ended up being ok and getting alittle interesting about half way in. It just felt so random. The story itself was just felt choppy and lacking of substance. The characters were stale and totally forgettable. The strongest and most memorable characters were the "bad guys". I probably won't read this writer again....just not my preferred writing style.
Lana Turner Gibson is bored in her marriage. Her husband, Brian, is very busy with work, and she feels neglected. Brian and Lana are currently living in Dublin, transplants from Seattle, and she decides to go off to Paris for an evening. An old flame, Nathan, lives in Paris. Lana is not planning to reconnect with Nathan, but rather, she decides to go to an art exhibit. While at her hotel, she is curious about who is staying in the Imperial Suite. She happens to worm her way into the private elevator going to the suite, and sees something that she should not have seen, involving a very influential politician. The next 24 hours become an adventure with thugs following Lana to determine what she saw. It is a bit outlandish, but a quick read.… (altro)
I received this book for free through Goodreads' First Reads.
This book gets bad reviews but I liked it a lot. Some people say that the characters are not likable but honestly I've read way worse. Lana was not that bad and I understood why she acted the way she did.
I also loved the setting and thought it was utilized well. It makes me want to go to Paris.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a thriller set in a foreign country.
