Sunday Salon: Novels with Widows and a CIA Agent

 New reads from the library:

An Ambush of Widows by Jeff Abbott,  July 6, 2021, Grand Central Publishing
Genre: psychological suspense

About: two widows delve into their husbands’ deadly and dangerous secrets—as they try to protect their own.

The women, who know each other only because their husbands were killed in the same location, join to find the secrets behind the murders and to protect their families. 

The Last Tourist by Olen Steinhauer, March 24, 2020, Minotaur Books
Genre: political thriller

About: This is the fourth book in the CIA agent's, Milo Weaver, series. Milo is hiding out in Western Sahara when a young CIA analyst arrives to question him about a series of suspicious deaths and terrorist chatter linked to him.

This detailed, complex book takes some time to get into and to read, but seems worth it.

  1. An Ambush of Widows reminds me of the 2018 film, Widows which was pretty thrilling too. Happy reading.

  5. I have a few Olin Steinhauer books from NetGalley, but I haven’t read them yet. I’m lad to have your hint of needing to persevere once I start. I really like psychological thriller types of books.

  6. These both sound perfect for this time of the year. So many people enjoy this sort of edgy read during the Readers Imbibing Peril challenge for September and October.

    Thrillers are very popular, in general, right now.

    I hope you are doing well.
