Jordan Weiss is a State Department intelligence officer who has traveled the world on top secret missions. After receiving a letter from her friend Sarah, who suffers from ALS, Jordan must return to London, the one place she vowed never to set foot again. Once there, her world is turned upside down as lingering doubts concerning the disaster that occurred 10 years previously comes back to haunt her. She can no longer rest until she discovers what really happened. Meanwhile, her assignment at London's State Department turns out to be more dangerous than expected, and she works with fellow agents Sebastian and Sophie to take down the mob. Many twists and turns later, the story unravels and the mystery is solved. This book had some good parts, which made reading it bearable, but the look on my face as I was reading is the same as the face above. I have previously stated (though I'm not sure to whom) that the most important part of a book, is the character development and that is where this book goes horribly wrong. Jordan is supposed to be a State Department intelligence officer who has been on many dangerous missions and who is supposed to be sought after by others around the world. Nothing in this novel supports that characterization. In fact, Jordan seems lost, wishy-washy (is that a word), confused, naive, and unskilled. In addition, there were too many things going on in the book. None of the events in the book seem to fit together and I found myself skeptical the entire time. On a positive note, the descriptions of Cambridge and various other locales were vivid and well-written. I thoroughly enjoyed the last twenty pages of the book and found myself sitting on the edge of my seat. This, however, was not enough to compensate for the rest of the book. There is a sequel called A Hidden Affair by Pam Jenoff. I am reluctant to read it, but the end of this book really has me curious to see what happens.
