Read Online The Travelers Chronicled By Chris Pavone Formatted As Paperback

obviously had a moment of madness one day and got a bit "click happy" on netgalley, as I recently looked at my dashboard to find that my "wish to read" had been granted! I don't remember wishing for this book as its not my normal genre but I am so glad that I did as its lead me to a true storyteller!

The Travelers of the title is a travel magazine where Will Rhodes works.
He has a fabulously exciting job as a travel and food journalist, while his wife Chloe stays home, although she does still work in a much minor capacity for the same publication.
One day, whilst on assignment in Argentina, Will meets a beautiful Australian a fellow travel journalist working freelance and for the first time in his happy marriage is tempted by desire for another woman.
Another "chance encounter" with Elle, leads Will to make a decision he is definitely going to regret!

This was my first encounter with a Chris Pavone novel but it certainly won't be my last! He is a master of his craft, a born storyteller.
Not normally a fan of spy thrillers I was one of the few to start on I am Pilgrim and pass it to my husband with a sorry shake of my head! this grabbed me from the first few pages and sucked me into the exotic world of the traveller.
I was hugely envious of the freedom Will had, living his dream and not even realising how lucky he was!! His wife Chloe, on the other hand, didn't seem to have that same opportunity.
She was the one stuck home, in the house that they couldn't afford to do up, losing out to other women in the cut and thrust of the workplace.
Her and Will seem to have lost themselves in a marriage lived mostly on different continents so no wonder they don't seem to understand what they are each going through.

The detailing in the novel is very indepth, it has been well researched and it develops into a really action packed, twisty spy thriller where you never quite know who the good guy is.
It's told in short, sharp chapters that really crank up the tension and towards the end I practically held my breath as it all the plot threads came together in an explosive finale.
And a great ending too, I must say!

Some reviewers have said this isn't as good as his first two books but if that's the case then, based on my enjoyment of The Travelers, then I will love them too so onto my wishlist they go!

I received a copy of this book via netgalley in return for an unbiased review so many thanks to them and to the publisher Faber and Faber.
Another solid read from Chris Pavone enjoyable and clever, Full review after the hols, : This is an extraordinarily complex book, with many story themes interlocked in often confusing ways, IMO, that is the author's intent, to keep the reader not knowing and anxious to learn, Well done. To say you have to suspend your disbelief when reading The Travelers by Chris Pavone might just be the understatement of the century.
It would be much more helpfuland the events in the story much more realistic if you had spent the entirety of your life in a bomb shelter unaware of the workings of modern man and have recently emerged ecstatic that the world is not a burning nuclear wasteland to find this entertaining and very silly spy novel.


Will Rhodes is a globetrotting travel writer unaware that the magazine he writes for is in fact a topsecret spy agency dating back to World War Two.
He is soon compromised on a trip to Argentina, seduced by a foxy CIA operative, and enlisted against his will to provide counterintelligence against his company.
Against his friends. But things start to spin out of control, as they are like to in these stories, and Will begins to question just who is telling the truth Who can he trust Malcolm, his long time friend and editor of Travelers Chloe, his wife who is getting more and more withdrawn, disappearing for days Or even that foxy CIA agent who has an unpleasant habit of striking Will about the head and upper body

All this is all frivolous fun, and despite committing the mortal sin of being written in present tense, enjoyable.


Pavone is a talented writer, It is clear that his interest lies in building distrust/confusion among his characters as well as quick moving passages, The Travelers is like cotton candy at the state fairweightless, providing no nourishment yet known to man, and kind of sticky and pink yet still yummy.

This was an interesting book, I thought that the characters were complex and the relationships were complicated by lies, some long term and some short term, The plot moved along briskly and most of the threads were resolved, with one left open for another book, It was not a cliffhanger ending,
Characters:
Will Rhodes, a travel magazine writer, who is living in a half finished house missing doors and some walls, because he wants everything to be perfect.
He is in debt and cannot afford perfect, He and his wife, Chloe, are growing apart,
Chloe has what seems like a minor role in the beginning, but becomes more important as the plot proceeds,
Malcom Taylor, Will's boss and a key person in the conspiracy that Will is drawn into,
Elle, a mercenary spy who seduces Will, She and her boss have video of Will having sex with her, She gives Will a choice: Do what we ask, or your wife finds out,
There are other players who interact and Will is torn between two groups, both of whom claim to be CIA,
I enjoyed reading it and recommend it if you like spy novels,.out ofstars.
I received this book from LibraryThing, A pulseracing international thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Expats and The Accident.


It s:am, Do you know where your husband is Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he's living the wrong life.
Then one night, on assignment for the awardwinning Travelers magazine in the wine region of Argentina, a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can't refuse.
Soon Will's bad choices and dark secrets take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a megayacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs

of Iceland.


As he's drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that nothing about Will Rhodes was ever ordinary, that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an immense and deadly conspiracy with terrifying global implications and that the people closest to him may pose the greatest threat of all.


It's:am. Your husband has just become a spy, .
