ALMOST HOME
by Pam Jenoff
Ten years ago, Jordan Weiss's idyllic experience as a graduate student at Cambridge was shattered when her boyfriend Jared Short drowned. Jordan has since traveled the world on dangerous assignments as a U.S. State Department intelligence officer, managing to avoid her painful memories in England. When a terminally ill friend asks her to come to London, she finds herself requesting a transfer. Jordan attempts to settle into her new life in London, but shortly after arriving, is approached by a former classmate who makes the startling assertion that Jared's death was not an accident. She quickly learns that Jared was murdered because his research on World War II had uncovered a dark and dangerous legacy. Struggling to discover the answers, she finds herself in grave danger from powerful forces who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.
"A cool, contemporary romantic thriller. Jenoff keeps the pace brisk and the plot
tight, flipping smoothly between [the] past and present while concluding with a
jaw-dropping cliffhanger."
-Publisher's Weekly
"Jenoff does a masterly job of blending romance, friendship, loyalty, greed, spies, the political ambitions of the rich and powerful, and a bit of shady World War II history into a suspenseful and multilayered novel. Readers who enjoy suspense stories with a good deal of character development will find much to appreciate here. Strongly recommended for popular fiction collections."
-Library Journal
"Captivating and touching...An elegant blend of thriller and women's fiction (but certainly not chick lit, and likely to appeal to both sexes), Almost Home is a pleasurable and literate read, conceived with imagination and executed with dexterity."
-Richmond Times Dispatch
