Publisher's Summary:
Andres suspects his wife has left him - again. Then he learns that the unthinkable has happened: Shes been kidnapped. Set in Lima, Peru, in a time of civil and political unrest, this evocative novel is a perfect marriage of domestic drama and suspense. Too much time and too many secrets have come between Andres and Marabela, but now that shes gone, hed do anything to get her back.
Or will he?
As Marabela slips farther away, Andres must decide whether they still have something worth fighting for, and exactly what hell give up to bring her home. And unfortunately, the decision isnt entirely up to him, or to the private mediator who moves into the family home to negotiate with the terrorists who are holding Marabela. Andres struggles to maintain the illusion of control while simultaneously scrambling to collect his wifes ransom, tending to the needs of his two young children, and reconnecting with an old friend who may hold the key to his past and his wifes future.

Not my cup of tea
Good writing and performance. Very predictable
Like this narrator. Will generally finish a book he is reforming even if I'm not crazy about the book
Interesting
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
It was a change from my normal books I tend to get. The storyline kept me captivated until the end.
not worth the cost
sorry .. kind of boring story. it drags on and on. no real substance to it
A Good, Surprisingly Suspenseful Story!
Think 1992, Lima Peru. An era of widespread criminal activity featuring kidnappings for ransom. Two women in Andres' life have been kidnapped (at different times) and this story reveals human shortfalls and strengths in a spectacular way. What will he part with to get his wife back from her kidnappers? What will he do to help a childhood friend recover from the horrors of her kidnapping? What will his wife do with her life when she returns? Good story. Great suspense all the way.
The central characters in the story are minimal and though they could have been developed more, what we find out about them as the story unfolds turns out to be adequate.
I have only one minor criticism. The book is read in third person. Every time a character speaks, it is followed by "she said" or "Andres said." The narrator could have/should have used better character voices and avoided that redundancy. It got tiresome, for sure!
