The Expats / Chris Pavone / 327 pgs.

"An international spy thriller about a former CIA agent who moves with her family to Luxembourg where everything is suspicious and nothing is as it seems"----Provided by publisher."

The book was not that suspenseful and even a little thin, as most of the character's problems would be resolved if they would just confront and talk to each other.  The "should I say something or not?" inner dialog got a little tiresome after awhile.  If I wanted this kind of action I would read a paperback romance novel.    

What did draw me in, was following the main character's new life in Luxembourg.  Since she quit her high stress job with the CIA to be a homemaker in a new country, it was refreshing to read about her struggles and feelings of loss over her job and former self.
