This eBook was an unexpected treat. Although not a Christian novel, as I usually prefer, this novella was clean and decent. There was some light profanity, in appropriate settings, but none of the F-word or super-offensive stuff so common in today's media and entertainment. There was no sex or graphic violence. Although one character, Nick Angelis, was clearly attracted to the point-of-view character, Ingrid Skyberg, there was none of the usual over-the-top romantic hanky-panky going on. Angelis flirted and tried to impress Ingrid, but he was a gentleman when she resisted his charm and good looks. While the relationship was still open to further development in sequels, the two did not end up getting any more serious than colleagues by the conclusion of the book.
The plot otherwise was interesting. The grand-daughter of the Secretary of State involved in peace talks went missing--having ditched her government-appointed escort. Ingrid, an FBI agent in London, is assigned to track her down before her grandmother, the press, or anyone else gets wind of it. Paired with Angelis, an employee of a private security company connected with the US embassy, Ingrid does her best to follow the scanty leads they have on where the girl could have secreted herself and what she was up to.
Although the detective work often seems secondary to the sometimes adversarial relationship between agents Skyberg and Angelis, the action is fun and fast-paced, as the two have only one day to track down the missing teen. As is typical with novellas, the book ends abruptly, without the satisfying denouement one more often finds in longer books. However, the loose ends are tied up, and the foundation is laid for a series of books about the same character(s).
I recommend this book to anyone who would enjoy a quick, easy read with a touch of suspense and action, without a lot of peripheral nonsense. It won't strain your budget or your brain, but will provide a few hours of entertainment.
