I've just read the first few chapters of this book (I didn't want to commit to buying it in case I didn't like it), and have now decided to buy the rest of it. At first I thought it would just be another action novel with a strong, female character who kicks butt and happens to meet and attractive guy who isn't really her type, but the story IS dynamic, and so far, has gotten me interested enough to want to know how it ends. Seeley has set up the characters and their stories in a way that hasA very readable book. Pia Sabel is a kick-ass yet vulnerable female ex-Olympic footballer turned detective, and despite being mega rich, the author succeeds in making Pia an easy character to relate to.The story races along at a good clip, jumping destinations like a Bond film, with plenty of the type of details that make it easy to visualise the setttings. Dialogue between the cast is snappy and believable, and carries the slightly dubious plot along even when it gets a bit far fetched.I did
This review is of an e-book copy provided to me by the author via the Goodreads Group Making Connections, in return for my fair and impartial review. 978-0-9886996-0-1James tells the kind of story I enjoy, one with a strong protagonist struggling against heavy odds in a contemporary and realistic setting slotted into an intricate plot that shifts between exotic destinations. The story is fast paced and well written.The heroine is unusual, a young soccer star, Pia Sabel, who inherits Sabel
I would like to start saying that I am a big fan of "Jack Reacher". I was introduced to him 10 years ago and I followed all his past and current travels since then. So its obvious that a post on FB caught my eye "Is Pia Sabel the next Jack Reacher". I am glad that I had a chance to meet Pia on her first mission in Geneva. Thanks to author Seeley James, I have one more hero who took my sleep for reading their adventures. The thought of a professional gold medal footballer turned head of security
An heiress wants to know who killed her customer and goes all over the world to find out. I always hear people say "gripping story" but in this case it fits. She's a spoiled rich kid who retired from soccer (although we don't know why). I've never seen a soccer player in a thriller before. The first move she made is one I've done on the pitch (you will get a yellow card though) so I know it works. After that, she's pretty resourceful in using her strengths against a bunch of killers. What I like
After a slightly hesitant start, this book really got into its stride and kept going strong. I loved the character of Pia Sabel - there's a girl Charlie Fox would team up with any day!
