"The Expats" by Chris Pavone ****

  • Audiobook
  • US author
  • Originally published 2012
  • Review:   Cross, double cross, triple cross and more.  This complex espionage story falls just short of being overdone.  Pavone's lead character is a just ex-CIA employee who cannot suppress her spy tendencies, which leads to dilemmas as she tries to reconcile the life of a spy with being a wife and mother.  Is she imagining dire plots everywhere she goes or is there something to it.   Noooooo, I am not going to tell you!  However, this story also deals with the eternal theme of marital trust and betrayal, and how much of each a marriage can sustain.  Good read!
