Taking Morgan
Morgan Cooper is finding it hard to juggle the demands of her children and her career - a task her workaholic civil-rights lawyer husband, Adam, makes still more difficult. But unlike the other 'soccer moms' in their affluent DC suburb, she's an undercover CIA officer assigned to the strife-torn Gaza Strip. There, as the betrayals and contradictions of her personal and working lives catch up with her, she finds herself in peril. With her Agency bosses seemingly disengaged, it falls to Adam to try to save her life and their relationship. Inspired by actual events, Taking Morgan is a gripping novel of political intrigue and suspense. It is also the deeply affecting story of a modern couple struggling in their marriage, suddenly at risk of losing each other forever.

This was a really awful book I read it because of the subject matter and Israeli connection.I finished it as I wanted to know what happened to Morgan. However it was full of really awful language that seemed to me unnecessary and in the end I cared for nobody.i will not read anything else by this author.

I thought that this was a perfectly adequate thriller that told me some things I didn't know about jihadists and the Balkan conflict. However I did think that the behaviour of the husband was a bit silly and the introduction of the sexual elements unnecessary. I cannot say much about the plot because of the fear of "spoilers'. Apparently the author is a journalist and this showed in his writing style, not in a bad way, but noticeably. I doubt that I'll pick up any more this this author's works, there is so much better out there waiting to be read!

Rather disappointing. A good plot but although apparently based on true events, it felt contrived and untenable at times.

This is a very good thriller, and I genuinely enjoyed getting an insider's view of the conflict.
