The Eighth Sister
The Eighth Sister (Charles Jenkins #1)
By: Robert Dugoni
Part I reads like an action packed spy movie as Charles Jenkins navigates a CIA mission in Russia. Things aren’t what they seem and he might not get out of the country in one piece. Very suspenseful and tense.
Part II is the legal proceedings that occur in the aftermath of the mission. Reads like a John Grisham novel- lots of legal jargon and takes place almost solely in the courtroom.
I really enjoyed the combination of both of these parts. Though the purpose of the mission in Part 1 isn’t really resolved or revisited in Part 2- hoping in the next book we learn more about who all that mission involved.
The characters are likable and easy to picture- I like that David Sloane becomes a part of this story. It’s fun when series connect to each other.
Looking forward to the next installment of Charles Jenkins’ story! Oh, and if you have a trip planned for Russia any time soon, reading this book may give you second thoughts!!
