The Expats
Pavone, Chris. The Expats. 2012. (Fiction Pavon.C)
A spy novel masquerading as the story of a marriage or the story of a marriage disguised as a spy novel? Both descriptions work for this story that keeps the reader and Kate--wife, mother, former CIA agent--off balance. Kate, her husband Dexter and their two sons have recently moved to Luxembourg for Dexter's new job in financial computer security. Kate fell in love with Dexter ten years earlier because of his guilelessness, an appealing characteristic to a CIA agent mistrustful of everyone with whom she interacts. She promised herself at the time never to investigate Dexter, a resolution that is sorely tested when she realizes they are being watched. Is it for her past actions or is Dexter up to something? Suspense builds while trust frays. Has Kate willfully failed to see what her marriage truly is? Also available as downloadable audiobook and as eBook.
(Nancy E., North Branch)
