Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
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.

“It is not my first Pam Jenoff book, and for sure it won't be the last one. This one was ok. The pacing for me was strange; I had some trouble with the flashbacks. It is a 2.5-stars book for me.
It is a book that deals with intrigue, lies, murder, and cover-ups, as well as the issue of human trafficking. My biggest problem was with Jordan herself. For a supposedly intelligent woman, she behaves at times like an addled teenager, and I found her actions regarding her friend Sarah a little puzzling. For me, her actions didn’t quite match the value she claimed to put on that friendship.
The ending of "Almost Home" makes you have to read the next of the series. I don't know if I want to continue with series right away. I might pick it up if I find it somewhere to borrow it, for sure I won't buy it.”
