⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
WINNER of the Best First Novel 2018 Award at the International Thriller Writers Awards.
The first in a brand new series featuring Thea Paris, a kidnap and ransom specialist. Lisa Gardner says THE FREEDOM BROKER is 'clever and gritty' and Peter James says it's 'spellbinding'. If you like I AM PILGRIM, David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series or Ludlum's Bourne series, you will love this.
Thea Paris is one of only twenty-five elite professionals in the world with the ability to bring hostages home safely. International negotiation, undercover operations and extractions are a part of life. Their only objective: release.
For Thea, her family's wealth meant kidnap was a constant threat and their worst fears were realised when her brother was kidnapped. Although he was returned, she made it her life's mission to stop others suffering the trauma they did.
Now Thea's past is about to come back with a vengeance as her billionaire father is taken.
With her professionalism challenged to its limits, all Thea knows is that she has to get her father back alive, at any cost.
My Thoughts
A good mystery thriller is always exhilarating, but a best thriller is even more so. Far-flung locales—unfamiliar to either the reader, the protagonist, or both—add an extra layer of intrigue to any thriller novel. The Freedom Broker by K. J. Howe This book will take you not only around the world, but into the hearts and minds. This novel has lots of twists and plenty of action. Very topical action filled thriller. Because of the twists in plot and the amazing scenes, this novel would make a great film. All that being said I find his work entertaining with good, well written characters and situations, the above notwithstanding, well thoughtout and fast paced with the right mix of action thrown in thanks to the interesting and unlikely mix of characters. The plot turns come fast and furious... Sharp characters enmeshed in a mystery that, particularly in its final lap, is a gleefully dizzy ride.
K. J. Howe's novels weave tales full of mystery, action and suspense with amazing storyline. His unique story and no-nonsense style of writing will take you on a page-turning roller coaster ride of action right to the very end.
I very much recommend this book.
