Review
I often thought I was reading the early works of Ken Follett, Frederick Forsyth, and Robert Ludlum. Smart, clever suspense, skillfully plotted - The Expats is a lot of fun to read. John Grisham
Bristling with suspense and elegantly crafted, The Expats introduces a compelling and powerful female protagonist you won't soon forget. Patricia Cornwell
Spy stories need to budge over to make space for Kate Moore - mother, wife, expat and ex-CIA operative. I loved her. Rosamund Lupton
Riveting. One of the most accomplished debuts of recent years ... a worthy addition to the literature of espionage and betrayal. John Connolly
One of the best-written spy thrillers I've ever read. Olen Steinhauer.
A jet fuelled story that rockets from one corner of the globe to another, it is never less than a thrill a minute . . . An absolute winner!
