Dugoni never disappoints.
If he writes it, I am going to read it.
Charlie Jenkins has been called upon once again when an American sleeper cell in Russia goes silent, it is his job to go in and find them. But first, there is that opening scene in the prologue! Holy Moly! I mean, come on, that was brutal and instantly had me sitting up a little straighter in my chair, eyes glued to the pages, pulse pounding, and heart thumping in my chest.
Just when Jenkins thought he was done and could relax with his family at their farm, the CIA comes knocking. Assumed identity in place, Jenkins goes to Russia where he gets caught up in some nastiness at a bar that ends with the death of the only son of a powerful organized crime leader. Because when Charlie does danger – he goes all in! But this time he may have stepped in the you-know-what a little too much.
I really think you need to read the first two books in this series prior to reading this one. They really set the stage and readers will not feel as if they are missing out on information. Plus, the previous books are amazing so why not, go back and read them.
Fans of spy books, espionage books will not be disappointed. Plus, Charlie Jenkins is a very likeable main character who is no spring chicken. Nope, he wants to retire. But he is just so good at his job, the CIA keeps calling. Plus, there are other characters who are in their 60’s. It was refreshing to read a book where most of the characters are middle age or above.
As with all his books, The Silent Sisters was well written and kept me on my toes. There is action, there is danger, there is retribution, there is intrigue, and there are complications. You will like some characters, dislike some characters, be amused by some characters, and shake your head at others.
If you have not read Dugoni, what are you waiting for????? He has so many amazing books, you may have difficulty choosing what to read first!
Dugoni once again explains in his author’s note about spending 3 weeks in Russia and how that inspired this series.
