Two Nights in Lisbon - Chris Pavone
She read; on his TBR list
Publication Date: May 22, 2022
While accompanying her husband on a business trip to Lisbon, Ariel’s husband, John, disappears. Near the outset, it is evident that all is not what it seems with them and there are secrets. At first, she has difficulty convincing the local authorities that he was kidnapped, but soon they are involved, along with American embassy staff and a journalist on a whirlwind investigation as the secrets are revealed.
The plot is a bit convoluted, but, over and above the basic storyline, are poignant and sometimes painfully perceptive observations of life as well as the frustrating situations in which women are often placed due to mysogyny.
There are actions and statements reflective of our societal and political culture and some wonderful statements. “That is the problem these days. No one believes anyone” and my personal favorite, “there are a lot of lunatics in America.”
This is a thriller not to be missed!
