It was a pleasant read, but lagged in places. I would recommend it as a fun book to read, but it definitely didn't make my list of top action thriller novels. ( )

Somehow I missed this one by Zoe Sharp. Charlie Fox goes to Colombia after an earthquake to provide security for a search and rescue team, when her predecessor died under unexplained circumstances. The primary job is to protect a very young woman and her rescue dog as they seek survivors. One such survivor is the owner of a jewelry story, with two dead clients, but something is not right, but Charlie has a tough time working with the rescue team and the local police, despite her usual bravado and bravery. Like all Fox stories, this one moves along fine, but the ending is too abrupt and unexplained for 4 stars. ( )
