The Expat Affair

Summary: An American expat‘s startling discovery plunges her into the glamorous but deadly world of Amsterdam’s diamond industry.

Following a nasty divorce, Rayna Dumont came to Amsterdam for a fresh start. She’s never been the type for a one-night stand, but this move is all about adventure, and Xander is handsome and successful and more than willing to go along for the ride. Until the morning after, when Rayna finds him dead on the shower floor and millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds missing from his safe.

From her lavish home in the heart of the city, Willow Prins is captivated by the news. Her husband is Xander’s former boss and heir to a diamond house, and the scandal strains their already-rocky marriage. As the house comes under scrutiny, Willow wonders if her life is about to implode—and how much of the blame she can place on Rayna. Soon, Willow and Rayna are dragged into the dark and dangerous underbelly of the diamond market, where they’ll have to uncover the truth to survive. Who killed Xander? Where are the missing diamonds? And who can you trust in a strange and unfamiliar city thousands of miles from home?

 

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

When I need a good twisty read, Kimberly Belle checks a lot of my boxes for what makes a good and twisty read. I can feel the tension building with each chapter, her characters are not cookie cutter, and they keep me entertained.

What I liked:

Well if that cover doesn’t catch your interest- are you even a thriller reader?

The similarities and differences between Rayna and Willow. Both are American expat’s and both fled shitty situations. But Rayna is a bit naive, maybe a bit too trusting, and Willow is street smart- ready to fight for what she deems hers.

The secrets. The secrets are crazy good!

 

Bottom line: This book has something for everyone and I am eagerly awaiting news that Netflix (or some other streaming service) has picked this book to make a limited series or movie from. Pass the popcorn when that happens (and go heavy on the butter!)
