A review by juliechristinejohnson
An Accidental American by Jenny Siler, Alex Carr

3.0

This thriller oodles of intrigue set in Lisbon, the gorgeous French Pyrenees & Beirut, but it's no ordinary mystery-adventure. THe protagonist is a beautiful, bitter and lonely ex-con who has sworn off a life of crime to raise chickens on a farm in southern France (yes, living my fantasty, except for the ex-con bit...). It's gritty, smart & razor sharp- taking surprising directions. I am full of admiration for writer Alex Carr and have set sights on her latest: THe Prince of Bagram Prison.
