to a great series, Fast paced and wonderful leading character, Agent Ingrid Skyberg, So now we know how she came to be working in London, The granddaughter of the Secretary of State women, of course sneaks away from her grandmother and is missing in London, Love the series, looking forward to all of the books in the series, Hopefully there are many many more!! I bought this book for free on Amazon as I decided yesterday I wished to read a cool, short thrilling novella that I could race through withinhours.
It is a story about our hero FBI agent Ingrid Skyberg, She happens to be in London doing some lecturing to uninterested English officers in Scotland Yard about how to handle violence to children cases.
The. . she gets a text. Meet me outside and a car is waiting, . .
This is how our story commences, The "long and the short" of it is that a very important young lady has gone missing and she needs to be found.
Plus no one can know about it, To stop the leaking and to get the best woman on the case they ask for Ingrid,
As it was a short book I read it as having about four main plot points and then built up dialogues and character building and reacting until we got to these, often great scenes.
The supporting cast to Ingrid was highly colourful and interesting so I have to respect Eva Hudson for making me care about these characters withinpages.
They aren't that complex yet, but this is her prelude to a distinguished series she has established and I willbe checking out the rest.
Nick Angelis is a charming, mysterious, exarmy officer helping Ingrid on the case and yes, he has a soft spot for her.
I won't say too much, but the person behind the missing girl is very clever and throws a lot of false senses around.
It is quite simply written but that is what I needed and it worked well, The pacing of the book was exquisite, The story wasn't predictable, however with it being a short book they always seem to progress to the right scent straight away.
Whether this is the ingeniousness of our hero or a writing device to keep it short and sharp doesn't matter because it was very good plot progression within the medium.
The ending was sort of a hooha, the day is saved I don't think this is a spoiler in these sort of books but if you consider it is then let me know and I will edit it.
I willbe checking out the rest of the series, This was a very pleasant surprise, To reiterate, it is free, You would be silly not to at least check it out,
Peace and love, James x

ABOUT EVA HUDSON
After years of enjoying thrillers and police procedurals by authors like Lee Child and Michael Connelly, Eva was inspired to write thrillers herself.
Inshe won the inaugural Lucy Cavendish fiction prize for her first novel, The Loyal Servant, and never looked back, 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 Fword or superoffensive 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 pointofview character, Ingrid Skyberg, there was none of the usual overthetop romantic hankypanky 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 granddaughter of the Secretary of State involved in peace talks went missinghaving ditched her governmentappointed 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 fastpaced, 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 characters.
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, I'm not sure what to say about this 'novella' I got about/of the way thru it, and it was soooo hard to keep my attention.
Ms. Hudson uses the GD word a good bit, which I don't see much use in, . . it's not the F word, but I'd almost rather that than the GD, Also, there wasn't much 'meat' to the storyline, Idk what the actual series consist of, but I found myself reading just to be reading so I could finish the book not because it was keeping my attention, until I decided that I had a ton of other books I could be reading that I hope I won't be able to put down.
So, I put this one down at themark coz I was wasting my mind and my time, Idk if I'll give the others a shot or not, . . So many books, so little time!!! This book had a good basic storyline and an interesting main character, However, the methods used in the book to track down an eighteen year old runaway in Europe were unorthodox, The book, while interesting, did not have a viable urgency about it that most thrillers do,
I believe this book was more about introducing the characters and setting up the series, It was a fairly good and quick read that kept my interest, but did not thrill me, I expected more twists and turns and surprises and did not get them, Since this is a prequel and a novella, and it has great potential, I will give the next book in the series a chance.
The teenage granddaughter of the Secretary of State has run away from her bodyguards in Paris, She is tracked to London where FUN agent Ingrid Skyberg is tasked with finding her before her Grandmother, who is negotiating a peace treaty, realises she is missing.
This novella is a quick read and a good introduction to the character of Skyberg, A great easy and quick read, But interesting too.
Ingrid Skyberg FBI agent is in the UK at a conference when she is left a text message to leave immediately and a car is waiting for her.
she is taken to the Embassy where she is tasked with finding a teenage girl, but this is not just any teenage girl.
This is
the granddaughter of the Secretary of State,
Time is against Ingrid, and she has a task on her hands to find this girl and find her quickly.
For a short read there seemed to be an awful lot packed into this book,
Well worth reading and a good introduction to a series, I will give more of Eva's books a try in the near future.
Three agents of the FBI are in London to give a presentation when the woman giving the talk is called out for a phone call and shortly the second woman is also called of the session leaving the lone man to finish up.
The women are escorted to a room in the US Embassy and left in a locked room after having all their electronic devices confiscated.
One complains loudly about the loss of her phone and the inability to talk with her children back in the states, while the other, Ingrid Skyberg, is quiet and tries to indicate to her compatriot that she should be aware that the were probably being watched.
When they are finally freed, Ingrid is kept and the other sent back to the conference, It seems that the Secretary of State is on a delicate mission in France and somehow heryear old granddaughter has managed to join her after having a fight with her parents.
Now it appears that the granddaughter has managed to elude her private security and has taken off to destinations unknown, Ingrid is teamed with a private security agent and Embassy staff as well as Scotland yard to track down the girl and get her back to France without letting the Secretary know and distract her from the negotiations.
With a short time frame to succeed and false trails left by the smartyear old they have quite a task ahead of them.
