Random Things Tours: The Identity Enigma by Lis McDermott

 


3 couples, six friends, so many mysteries unsolved.

Jen and Lukas do plan to spend some quality time in Stockholm with Kyra and Nils, two journalist friends. But Lukas receives a call about an unexpected accident his good friend Cole suffered while on a work assignment in Ethiopia. Friendship overcomes the fun and he and his wife are coming back home to support Cole´s wife. Cole is recovering slowly, but it looks like his old self is lost too and everything looks very suspicious for Lukas. Will Kyra and Nils reveal what exactly happened with Cole, using their journalistic flair and imagination?

The Identity Enigma by writer and coach Lis McDermott was a surprise for me. While exploring various aspects of human experience and friendship, it also creates an unexpected story, with turns of situations and unexpected revelations. It allows us, the readers, to keep guessing over and over again until the end of the story. Particularly this featurer keeps the reader involved and engaged, by exploring the quest for truth set on a very interesting net of both friendship and deception. A meeting of sort between appearances and truth, an identity enigma that will lead to shocking circumstances.

Personally, I was also impressed by the characters, relatable and authentic, in their search for friendship and empathy. They did not feel like fictional, but as real persons one may encounter in real life.

This book made me curious about this author and I am definitely interested in exploring more of her books in the near future.

Rating: 4 stars
