Eye Spy by C.M.Ewan - whose previous book I´ve reviewed few years back - it´s an undownputable thriller that not only I couldn´t abandon until the very end, but which also keeps staying with me long before I finished.
Although the action takes place within a relatively short amount of time, it spares no detail of the ambiance, allowing us to settle into the story, little by little, while terrific details happening on the spot are revealed.
Mark is playing I Spy with his little 4 yo daughter Molly, but the apparition of a man, who is getting closer to him, terrifying his daugher, is taking a dangerous turn for their trip. The urgency of saving his family from an looming danger activates though secrets well hidden both by him and his wife, Claire, who for obviously fake reasons couldn´t joined them for this trip.
My perfect setting for reading this book would have been on a train trip, however, I tried to imagine with my mind´s eyes the real encounters shared in the book. The cinematic storytelling and the many unexpected twists are definitely keeping the reader in a permanent state of tension. Which is clearly the highest expectation one may have when picking up a thriller read.
The cover is definitely deserving a mention, for the simple, yet urgent design.
Rating: 5 stars
