Blog Tour: The Violin and Candlestick, David Jarvis

I am delighted to be sharing my review on book 3 in the series. Please do check out last weeks blog on books 1 and 2 if interested: https://www.bobsandbooks.com/post/book-reviews-tip-of-the-iceberg-this-is-not-a-pipe-david-jarvis

What's it about?

A businessman flies by private jet for a half-hour lunch in Doha, Qatar. This would have been no big deal except that he is the CIA’s main asset in the Middle East and, six hours later, is found dead in his villa.


Michaela ‘Mike’ Kingdom was meant to be investigating something else for Leonard de Vries, her old CIA and Five Eyes boss, when he asked her to help him find the killers. She had been one of his analysts in London before the ‘accident’ that had killed her husband and damaged her leg.


She told everyone many times that she didn't do fieldwork, but no one listened, not even Mike herself. Leonard told her not to worry as he had organised help in the form of another ex-CIA agent, now a Paralympian in the US basketball team.


What could possibly go wrong?


Bobs and Books honest review:


Well, just when I thought this author couldn't top his last book, he absolutely knocks it out of the park again.


A wonderful book 3 and Mike is back and up to her best predicaments yet. I love her wig swapping and razor sharp intelligence, it makes for compelling reading.


Another well paced read with a plot to keep me on toes as its like a roller coaster ride as to what might happen next.


Thoroughly entertaining read.
