Almost Home

A Novel

By: Pam Jenoff

Narrated by: Jennifer Jill Araya

New York Times Bestselling Author of The Diplomat’s Wife

A thrilling novel of suspense about a woman who must face a past she’d rather forget in order to uncover a dangerous legacy that threatens her future.

Ten years ago, U.S. State Department intelligence officer Jordan Weiss’s idyllic experience as a graduate student at Cambridge was shattered when her boyfriend Jared drowned in the River Cam. She swore she’d never go back—until a terminally ill friend asks her to return. Jordan attempts to settle into her new life, taking on an urgent mission beside rakish agent Sebastian Hodges. Just when she thinks there’s hope for a fresh start, a former college classmate tells her that Jared’s death was not an accident—he was murdered.

Jordan quickly learns that Jared’s research into World War II had uncovered a shameful secret, but powerful forces with everything to lose will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. Soon, Jordan finds herself in grave peril as she struggles to find the answers that lie treacherously close to home, the truth that threatens to change her life forever, and the love that makes it all worth fighting for. Fast-paced and impossible to put down, Almost Home establishes Pam Jenoff as one of the best new writers in the genre.

All of the research.

As always her books are extraordinary! So much information is always contained in her writing. The characters really seem to come to life.

A little long

I really like most of the book. It kept me guessing. The sex scenes could have been omitted.

Chapter 6 ????

Struggled to get through this.. The potential of a very good story was here but falls short. Written like a high school girl's diary of a wishful life.

couldn't put it down!

another fantastic book by Pam Jenoff. many twists and surprises. I never guessed the ending.

A mess

The protagonist is a mess. She stumbles over herself repeatedly. I hope no one works for the State Department with her credentials. Just a poorly designed/plotted storyline. Has potential but needs several rewrites and an editor who is worth his/her salt!
