REVIEW
Vivian Miller works for the CIA and is assigned to the Russian division trying to uncover sleeper cells. One day, she is analyzing the computer of a known Russian operative and finds a folder named “Friends”, when she opens it up her life is turned upside down and her family is immediately in danger.
This story is a suspense-filled journey. The story is told from the point of view of Vivian and it gives you a glimpse into the everyday life of a CIA analyst. The author worked for the CIA for a few years and the novel is being adapted into a movie.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and highly recommend the novel to readers of thrillers and contemporary fiction.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this publication in exchange for an honest review.
