I enjoy the thrillers Gordon Bickerstaff writes. I’ve read most of them, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I added The Hunt for Enigma’s Mother to my TBR list when it was released. Read on to find out my thoughts on Zoe Tampsin’s latest adventure!
Synopsis (from the author):
In North Carolina, a home invasion goes horribly wrong, and triggers a series of disastrous knock-on events, beginning with the abduction of a five-year-old girl.
Six years later, one of the kidnappers is identified on a routine facial recognition scan at Glasgow Central train station. Relevant authorities are notified, and they race to be the first to capture the fugitive.
Zoe Tampsin’s Lambeth Group prepare to make an arrest. Unaware of ruthless forces competing to prevent exposure of a criminal cold case capable of destroying the alliance between Europe and the USA.
The stakes are high. The consequences are unthinkable. The options are vanishing.
What I liked about The Hunt for Enigma’s Mother:
As with all the Zoe Tampsin/Lambeth Group novels, The Hunt for Enigma’s Mother was jammed with action, intrigue, and excellent plot twists. While the stakes aren’t quite as high as with some of the other books, the story still had serious implications on a large scale. This one, though, was on a more personal level for many of the characters, making it an entertaining book!
What I didn’t like about The Hunt for Enigma’s Mother:
My only complaint about this book was the diminished role Zoe played. The focus was more on her team than her, which is a natural progression, but still a letdown.
Overall impression of The Hunt for Enigma’s Mother:
The book had all the elements I’ve come to expect from Gordon Bickerstaff’s novels. Action, suspense, good characters, and a fast-moving pace, I enjoyed it as much as any of the Lambeth Group books I’ve read.
My rating:
4.5 Stars (rounded to 5 Stars)
