1919. The Great War is over, but for Thomas Bartley, the battle has just begun. Tasked by British intelligence to investigate his own brother, Jack, for the murder of an undercover agent, Thomas travels to Buenos Aires, a city simmering with political unrest. He finds Jack transformed, a man entangled in dangerous alliances while building a railroad across the Andes. Caught between his duty and his family, Thomas uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to shatter their bond. Graciela Valera, the woman Jack loves, holds secrets of her own, and her connection to a powerful Argentine family complicates Thomas’s investigation. Told from three perspectives, Switch Track is a compelling historical thriller that explores the dark side of ambition and the enduring power of family ties.
Likeable characters (& a very dislikeable one). Great writing which gives you a vivid picture of both London and Argentina. I liked the different POVs chapter to chapter together with how some chapters started slightly further back than the previous one ended to give you more information about a certain event.
I felt Thomas matured during the story and Jack had some realizations about his own world view. I loved Graciela - nothing like a strong female character to win me over. I really felt her angst throughout her chapters and was so happy with the ending!
Interested to see if there’s further development of Thomas’ story by the author or whatever she chooses to write next 👏🏼👏🏼
