5 of 5 stars
Robert Dugoni delivers a
heart-pounding spy thriller in THE EIGHTH SISTER. I haven’t read any of the
previous novels, but had no trouble enjoying this one and being on the edge of
my seat throughout the story.
Charles Jenkins, a former
spy for the CIA, is struggling to keep his CJ Security business afloat. When he’s
approached by his former bureau chief asking for Charles’s help in unmasking a
so-called eighth sister, someone who is outing the names of a group of Russian
women who have been spying for the US for decades. Charles is told that the
Russians will use every trick in the book to uncover the names of this coven of
the other seven women who spy on Russia. Already three women have died under
mysterious circumstances. Charles is torn about be reactivated by the CIA after
decades away, but his sense of duty to save lives overcomes any trepidation he
may have. It is a decision that will change the course of his life.
The first half of this book
will hold you in its grips and will not let up as Charles flees for his life.
The second half of the book has its own drama going on and just when you think
it’s going in one direction, Mr. Dugoni throws another twist in the story.
Overall, this is a fantastic spy thriller, but be sure to carve out enough time
to read it because you won’t want to put it down! Fans of spy thrillers will
definitely be entertained by Mr. Dugoni’s latest release.
I voluntarily read this book
and the opinions are my own.
