A review by jonetta
Mrs. John Doe by Tom Savage

4.0

Nora Baron is a former actress now teaching acting at a college in Long Island, New York. She's married to Jeff who's currently working in London. When Nora receives a call that Jeff's been killed in a car crash, her trip to London to identify his remains sets off a wild adventure.

I deliberately ignored the book blurb as I didn't want to know anything more about this story than what I wrote above. This is high intrigue at its best where you never know who to trust, nor can you tell the good guys from the bad. If you've any familiarity with London and/or Paris, you'll enjoy the romp through these settings as it's highly descriptive. You'll feel like you're there whether you've been there or not.

This was a very interesting story that ramped up to warp speed 2/3 into the story. Until then, it moved at a slower pace as I attempted to digest and analyze all the clues and details. I very much enjoyed this one and Nora Baron. She's quite the definition of a heroine.

(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)
