I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
Cora Walker is the main character in this tale that takes place in
2012 and then jumps to 2028 and 2029. In 2012, Cora was in Benghazi teamed up
with some folks she thought she could trust. Fast forward to 2028 when she
finds herself back home, has a daughter, and is working for the Speaker of the
House, Sarah Vasquez. Cora’s one mission in this new position is to keep Ms.
Vasquez safe at all costs. And, there’s Gertie, who is like a mother to Cora
and a grandmother to Abby, Cora’s daughter.
There are also some other intriguing characters throughout these
pages that help meld this story. It’s full of politics, full of intrigue, full
of bad versus good which Cora finds herself in the middle of, much to her
surprise.
Cora finds herself in positions that are unthinkable to most of
us. There is just something about the political world that Cora can’t quite
seem to pull herself away from, even if she wants to.
While I don’t usually read political thrillers, I really liked the
character of Cora. I liked the portrayal of a strong female political
character. I also liked the fact that Cora has doubts about herself, making her
even more relatable.
This would be a good book for those who enjoy political reads, especially one with a strong female character, which, in my experience, is quite rare. There are also a lot of correlations with some of our own political history, which I also found quite intriguing, some mentioned by name, others described very similarly.
