Revenge in Barcelona: A Nikki Garcia Thriller

Kathryn

Genre: 
Mystery

Nikki Garcia, a private investigator at Security Solutions in Miami, is escaping to Spain with her fiancé Eduardo. She has just closed a life-threatening case in Mexico and needs this time to recover and finally get married and attend her cousin’s wedding. As she reconnects with her aunt and cousin, she isn’t able to let her guard down because she fears she is being followed. Taiwo Adebayo has been hired to do two jobs, but first he kills his twin brother and steals his passport, so he is able to leave Nigeria undetected. When a church is bombed by terrorists all the pieces start coming together. As their lives intertwine, Nikki will be lucky to escape with her life.

This thriller is the third in a series and possibly one of the best. If readers have never been to Spain, they will be transported there with the thoroughly descriptive details of the area and architecture. The maps the author has included for those unfamiliar with the area, are a great asset to this novel. Also included is a list of words and phrases in Arabic and Spanish which are extremely useful. One downfall of this novel is the lack of back story. There is enough reference to past cases and incidents that it would be beneficial to readers to know more about Nikki’s past. This book seems to involve some unresolved issues from book two, so readers should start at book one and work their way through. Be prepared to read this thriller in one sitting as it is almost impossible to put down once you start.
