I was a little disappointed in this third book which I felt pushed the boundaries of belief a bit too far. Charles Jenkins is black, over six foot tall, has a wife and two children and is on the Kremlin kill list. Yet he goes into Russia anyway. The Government must have been very short of spies that day.

I highly recommend reading the first two books before this one because it is a continuing story and it is necessary to understand previous events to get the big picture. There is a lot of action, secrecy and danger. Also a large amount of brutality even as the book opens with a very unpleasant prologue.

I must admit to not really enjoying this book much at all but it seems nearly everyone else is giving it five stars so please do not let me put anyone off reading it!

This is a superb ending to Dugoni’s ‘Seven Sisters’ trilogy. The Seven Sisters is the US code name for the seven native born Russian women raised from birth to be American spies for decades. Now with only two left in place, both in their sixties in high ranking positions with access to top secret information, and the Kremlin search closing in on them, the CIA needs to get them out of Russia fast. Despite agent Charles Jenkins having narrowly escaped twice after being sent into Russia he is asked to make a final trip to bring the last two sisters out. As a tall, black American, already on Putin’s ‘kill’ list, Jenkins knows this won’t be easy especially with facial recognition cameras everywhere.

Jenkins’ mission unfortunately becomes even more complicated when he becomes entangled in an accidental shooting at a bar and subsequently has not only the Kremlin but also the Moscow police and the Russian Mafiya hunting for him. This leads to a lot of high tension situations, chases, violence, torture and danger. Just what we’ve come to expect and enjoy in this series! It’s great to see some old fashioned spycraft in the mix and to meet a character who can still see things as they are even after spending all his life in the Russian police. Overall, a very enjoyable spy thriller with some great characters, not least Jenkins himself, however I definitely recommend starting from the beginning of the series for full enjoyment.

This book just didn’t not capture me in the least. The cover was really appealing to me but the story, I’m just not into Russian Mafia. However I am grateful for the chance to read it. I will be looking for more by thuan author tho!

The Silent Sisters is the third book in the series, I have not read the previous two books, but I don't think it took away from this one at all.

The Seven Sisters is the US code name for the seven Russian women who are assets for the US. With only two left in place, both of which are in their sixties, and placed in high-ranking positions. The KGB is trying to find out the who is the leak to top secret information. The CIA sends Charles Jenkins to help them leave Russia alive. As a tall, black American he stands out and is already on Putin’s ‘kill’ list, Jenkins will use disguises in order to accomplish his mission.

Jenkins’ will become involved in an accidental shooting at a bar which will alert the Kremlin, the Moscow police and the Russian Mafiya all vying to eliminating him once and for all. The conclusion will be a heart pounding race for freedom.

Is the third time, the charm or is the third time being in Russia spell the end of Charles Jenkins as he once again tries to rescue the last two of the seven sisters?

Part three and the last of the series, has the intrepid Charles, back where he is a wanted man. The situation in Moscow is dire for the remaining sisters, (spies who have infiltrated the highest levels of the Russian government). As Charles again answers the call, he places himself in immense danger and drawing attention to himself (even in disguise) can open him up to torture and possible death. However, Charles goes back into the fire, and one night seated in a lonely bar in Moscow, he witnesses the abuse of a woman, a prostitute and his strong moral code compels him to intervene. Little did he know that the man who winds up being killed is the son of a powerful Mayifa leader, leading her to aggressively finding Charles. Now Charles has both the government, the police and the Mayifa searching for him.

Both of the women he needs to rescue are women in her sixties. Trained by birth to being a spy, these ladies live their lives under the umbrella of fear. Charles is able to easily get the first woman out but the second one, Maria Kulikova, proves to be a much harder task. She has become a very close confidant and lover to a vile man, Dmitry Sokalov who is director of the FSB’s Counterintelligence Department, a higher up in the government who not only shares sex with her but also governmental secrets.

How Charles and the rest of the characters handle this challenge makes the book intensely interesting and one any lover of spy novels would appreciate. The lines between good and bad, moral and immoral are blurred and we come to see through Robert Dugoni the acceptable versus the unethical ways of doing business for a spy agency. This is the last of the series and for those interested, it is recommended that you read the other two that precede this one.

How interesting that Dugoni chose to make his characters people who were in their sixties showing age is just a number.

Happy to recommend all the books that make up the Charles Jenkins series with a thank you to Robert Dugoni, Thomas and Mercer, and NetGalley. This book is scheduled to be published on February 22, 2022.

Dugoni is a favorite author of mine for his Tracy Crosswhite series, but I've learned I'll read anything he writes because it does it so well. This trilogy without Dugoni's name is not something I'd be likely to read. CIA/Russian spycraft is not really my thing, but have really enjoyed these books. It helps for starters to have a really likable main character, Charles Jenkins, who has a heart of gold. Jenkins, a very large black man, manages to sneak around in a country with a very low black population completing his mission to extract that last two Russian woman who were raised since birth as American spies. The government is now aware of their existence and closing in their identities. However, Jenkins very first night in Moscow he is witness to the degrading treatment of a woman and, although not his mission, his conscience will not allow him to let it go. Unfortunately, one of the men involved is the heir apparent to the largest mafia family in Moscow who now also wants retribution. As if having the FSB (think CIA/FBI) after him wasn't enough. And the chase is on!

The story starts off a little slow while getting all the pieces into place but soon it really starts moving and doesn't slow down until the conclusion. I really enjoyed this book although my favorite part may have been the author's note where Dugoni hints that maybe he's not willing to say farewell just yet to Jenkins now that the trilogy is complete.

Many thanks to #NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer publishing for providing me with an advanced copy #TheSilentSisters in exchange for my honest review.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire! That seems to be the way things go with Charles Jenkins when he travels to Russia to find and exfiltrate the last two of the “seven sisters” from Russia. These native Russian women have been American assets for decades. They have been deep undercover in highly placed positions but have recently cut off communication with their handlers. Who you gonna call? The best Kremlin buster of all – Charles Jenkins!

Jenkins is not on his own, of course. While not CIA, he has all the training, support, and backing of the CIA to help him achieve his mission. Getting back into Russia is no easy task, particularly for a six-foot-five Black man. He can’t exactly blend in. Also, the Russians have put him on a “kill list” because of his prior “adventures” there. I highly suggest reading The Eighth Sister and The Last Agent before diving into this one. With the help of CIA disguise experts, Charlie has a repertoire of masks, wigs, and disguises as well as training on how to “act” like a totally different person.

Unfortunately, he nearly blows his cover the night of his arrival when he attempts to help a damsel – a prostitute – in distress. A man is killed – the son of a Russian mafiya comare, a woman known as “Catherine the Great.” Unbeknowst to him, Charlie is now wanted on two fronts…with more to come.

Most important was the task at hand. Locate the women and get them safely out of Russia. Both women are in their 60s. Would they even want to leave? The first of the two women, Zenaida Petrekova, a widow with grown children living in other parts of the world. This mission proved relatively easy, at least for a man with Jenkins’ experience and skills. The second sister, Maria Kulikova, would prove to be a much more difficult challenge.

Kulikova works for the deputy director of the FSB’s Counterintelligence Department, Dmitry Sokalov. In order to gain his confidence and therefore more access to government secrets, she is also his mistress. Ugh! She’s a beautiful woman with a greedy, unpleasant man!

The plot seems confusing and complex while Dugoni sets the stage. Adding

I to the fact that most names are Russian and Russian government is something I’m not all that familiar with, was the matter of jurisdiction in the murder of the mafyia character and all the shady dealings to cover up the facts. Dugoni throws in some very probable, yet fictional, political situations, and things grow more suspenseful by the page.

Mr. Dugoni, do you play chess? Yes, I see, to recall reading a fabulous book called The World Played Chess, so I suspect you know a thing or two about trying to outsmart an opponent. There’s a lot of that in this book. Oh, and there is so much more! Since the Russian Mafyia is involved, you can expect lots of unpleasantries in the form of violence. There were scenes where, had I been watching a movie, I’d have covered my eyes. Okay, yes, I would have peeked.

The planning is brilliant. The execution – not so much. But when Plan A doesn’t work, go to Plan B. Or ad lib. Do whatever it takes. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, both good and bad. Jenkins, while large and imposing, is a man of integrity and morals. I loved Marie Kulikova’s grit and determination. Sokolov is the epitome of the corrupt government official. Dugoni doesn’t hesitate to mention Putin or to demonstrate the negative aspects of Russian government and the underworld. While Charles Jenkins may have had his last covert operation in Russia, there are hints that his undercover adventures are not over. That won’t make his wife Alex happy, but readers should be thrilled.

I wish to thank NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and the author for providing me with an ARC of The Silent Sisters in exchange for my unbiased review.

4-1/2 stars rounded up

Book Review: The Silent Sisters (Charles Jenkins #3) by Robert Dugoni
Published by Thomas & Mercer, February 22, 2022

★★★★★ (4.5 Stars) Rave

Robert Dugoni saves the best for last!

// "We won the war... Foreigners will come to Moscow, walk around, and there are no skyscrapers. If they compare Moscow to capitalist cities, it's a moral blow to us..."
- - - Joseph Stalin, on commissioning seven skyscrapers in Moscow following World War II.

The seven buildings were commonly known as the "Seven Sisters", and included the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya, Hotel Ukraina and the main building of the Moscow State University. //

-----

Enter Charles Jenkins, 65, 6' 5" African American, husband, father of two toddlers, Vietnam vet and CIA spy (retired).

His original mission involved seven Russian women raised from birth to blend in seamlessly with Soviet /Russian society, and spy for America as "illegals", taking a trick from the old Soviet spy book. The mission was coded the "Seven Sisters" after the seven buildings Stalin commissioned following the second world war to glorify the Soviet state.

Three of the seven women had been outed by a former CIA station chief turned traitor, whose prevarications blamed the deaths on Jenkins, who, in turn, found himself subjected to grueling interrogations and a criminal trial. The betrayal nearly cost Jenkins his career. Not to mention, his life. (Book 1)

Two of the seven had been exfiltrated. The escape from the Lefortovo Prison fortress and Russia through the Arctic sea had been an extreme ordeal Jenkins would never forget. (Book 2)

The Silent Sisters (Charles Jenkins, Book 3)

The two remaining "sisters" in Moscow have gone silent, neither responding to dead drops or phone calls. Both women, in their sixties and highly embedded in the Russian government, are confirmed alive but lying low. It falls on Jenkins to find out exactly why. If necessary, once again, exfiltrate and get both women safely on American soil.

// "Not even the Russians would think I was stupid enough to return a third time..." - Charles Jenkins //

Jenkins finds himself back in Moscow at his own peril. He'd been added to a kill list authorized at the highest level.

On his first night back, he gets involved in a bar brawl and Jenkins finds himself accused of the death of the scion of the most powerful crime family in Moscow.

// He's hunted by the FSB.
Now, he's also hunted by the Russia mob.
Hounded by one determined, retiring Moscow police chief investigator.
And, on his tail, one deadly foe who'd chased him through the Arctic tundra in the not too distant past. //

And all Charles Jenkins has going for him are his wit, guts and skills as a boots-on-the-ground intelligence operator.

But then...

It just so happens that the last "sister" did work for the FSB and knows of all of its secrets.

And that between the Russian mob, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Moscow police department, there simply is no love lost...

-----

From the streets of Moscow to Irkutsk in the "Gulag Archipelago" via the Trans-Siberian Railroad,
the bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite police procedural thrillers (2014-2022) and human interest novels "The World Played Chess" (2021) and "Sam Hell" (2019), once again delivers for his readers - and readers-to-be. And takes them on one helluva rollercoaster of a ride!

A must-read!

Review based on an advanced reading copy courtesy of Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley.

Charles Jenkins you are my hero!

Getting a new book by Robert Dugoni is like opening a present and The Silent Sisters is no exception.

The Silent Sisters is a fast paced, hold your breath and buckle up read.

The pages fly by as Charles does everything in his power to extricate the remaining two of seven sisters that were planted in Russia years ago.

Charles himself is on the Kill List for Russia.

Nothing goes smoothly as one would expect it not to.

It's dark, its gritty, its gruesome and it is so good.

I cheered for Charles , I cringed for Charles and I prayed for Charles.

I can't wait to see who they cast as Charles Jenkins in the upcoming movie.

If you have not read this series , get your copies and start soon. You won't regret it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer, Thomas &38 Mercer for an outstanding read.

The Silent Sisters is the third book in the Charles Jenkins series by American author, Robert Dugoni. When the CIA becomes aware of a Kremlin program to expose the remaining two of the Seven Sisters, and the women go silent, they decide to send Charles Jenkins in to ascertain if the women need to be exfiltrated from Moscow, or have turned.

It’s dangerous for Charlie: he’s on a Kremlin kill list, and his wife isn’t happy that he is going to risk his life yet again, but he managed to extract a woman from the notorious Lefortovo prison, so if the women will trust anyone, it will be him. The CIA upskills him in tech and devices and equips him with disguises and the necessary papers, and he enters Moscow very much under the radar.

But before he can even connect with either woman, his deeply-ingrained sense of human decency gets in the way of his common sense, a Mafiya son is shot dead, and Charlie is soon being sought by Police, a Mafiya Godmother and Russia’s FSB. By the time he is ready to extract the seventh sister, they have a ruthless assassin on their trail.

When Arkhip Mishkin, a Senior Investigator with the Department of Criminal Investigations due for retirement is called to a shooting at a dive bar, he’s not phased by the status of the victim, and determined to close his last case and maintain his perfect record, whatever it takes. There’s not much else to interest him now he’s a widower.

But then the CCTV footage of the shooting is wiped and Akhip, having seen the body, knows the Medical Examiner’s report is a fabrication: the bystander did not kill Eldar Velikaya. When the bystander’s prints turn up a surprise, he concludes something more complicated is going on. But Arkhip can’t rest until he tracks down this Charles Jenkins to get the truth. If that means a train trip to Vladivostok, so be it.

As the prologue indicates, all does not go as planned and Charlie is subjected to quite a beating in the Irkutsk Meat Market. But he does have some very able people in his corner, and not just the CIA. Once they locate Charlie, they set up a neat sting that seems to satisfy all concerned, except a certain deputy director who has been gunning for Charlie from the start.

Dugoni manages to include a nail-biting chase through Moscow tunnels, numerous disguises, clever switches and a rather grisly revenge that will probably put some readers off eating sausages. Senior Investigator Arkhip Mishkin is an utter delight, and there’s plenty of black humour in the action-packed final book of this brilliant spy trilogy.

An advance reader digital copy of “ The Silent Sisters” by Robert Dugoni was awarded to me through Net Galley. My sincere thanks to the author, publisher and. Net Galley.

“The Silent Sisters” is the third in a three-part series depicting the adventures of CIA asset Charles Jenkins. The first two novels in the series were quite exciting stories putting the hero in extreme danger of his life and getting him out again. When this book opens, the Charles Jenkins is in chains, hanging from a meat hook in a frigid meat locker which is situated in, of all places, Siberia. How he got there makes for a solid, tightly plotted and fast-moving spy thriller.
Mr Dugoni presents his reader with a intriguing main character, Charles Jenkins, and a varied and interesting supporting cast. The characters of Maria Kulikova, the spy, and Arkip Mishkin, a Russian homicide cop are well done, with distinct personal lives. Also, the author obviously has more than a passing knowledge of Russia, it’s people and it’s peoples .
The basis for the three novels is that the CIA has planted seven female sleeper agents high in Russian government circle. A traitorous CIA agent revealed some of the names to the FSB , with deadly results . Twice Jenkins has travelled into Russian to extricate surviving women. The last time, Jenkins and the woman barely escaped with their lives. Now one more time he returns to rescue the last agent.
I wondered how a six foot- four black man with a “ capture and kill” order out for him might sneak into such a heavily surveilled state like Russian and get out again. The author has it all under control. Dugoni is a master story teller. Start the book prepared to keep,it going until the finish. It is a good one- the hours will fly by.
Cautions: violence, nasty people do nasty things to other people , some sexuality.

The Silent Sisters by Robert Dugoni This is the 3rd book in the Charles Jenkins espionage series. I had not read either of the 1st two or any book by Mr. Dugoni before. I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and I do read quite a bit of espionage books especially those that are character driven. In otherwords, I am not interested in the bang-bang type of books. The pace of this book is excellent. All too often the writer moves along at a fine clip story building and then rushes to the finish. This book stays straight (ok with plenty of zigs and zags) so one does not get too comfy to a satisfying ending. Charles Jenkins is a 6’5” African American former CIA with a wife and two kids in the Pacific Northwest. The CIA needs for him to come back into the fold and to go to Russia to help two life time agents (women now in their 60’s) to escape Russia. He is already on a “Kill list of the KBG. OK this does not sound simple in a country, 2nd only to China with image recognition software and cameras throughout the country. The CIA give him multiple disguises which I think works best in a book and perhaps not as well if this were made into a movie. He adds to the complexity by getting on a “Kill List” of the head of the Moscow mafia as well. With a less intelligent writer this book would have been a disaster but Mr. Dugoni knows how to write and it is a rewarding read. I now have to add the 1st two books to my “to be read list.”

First and foremost, a large thank you to NetGalley, Robert Dugoni, and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.

Long a fan of Robert Dugoni and his work, I turned to the latest instalment of his espionage series. Reviving all that was tense during the Cold War, Dugoni has fashioned a wonderful series around sleeper agents and one American’s duty to protect those involved. Still smarting from his latest Russian prison break, Charles Jenkins is enjoying life with his family. That is, until he’s approached by his CIA handler to return to Russia on a mission. It will be harrowing and dangerous, but necessary to ensure American intel is not lost. As Jenkins makes his way there, people are still hunting for him and will stop at nothing to see him dead. Dugoni does well spinning this tale of depravity and ruthlessness, but it’s all for the greater good!

Still feeling the aches and pains of a Russian prison, Charles Jenkins is happy to be with his family on their farm in the States. All that changes when, during a routine meeting with his CIA handler, Jenkins is told that he will need to help extricate the last of a sleeper cell that is being hunted by the Russian authorities. These women, deemed the Seven Sisters, have been providing America with wonderful intel, but there is a (wo)manhunt for them and the consequences are dire.

With only two left in the country, Jenkins will have to hunt them down and ensure they are safe, before trying to get them stateside for added protection. The trouble is, Jenkins is also a fugitive from the Russian authorities and they are on the hunt for him, sure to skin him alive when he is caught. It’s a precarious balance, but surely one that is needed to keep America safe from its renewed enemy.

As Jenkins makes a splash back in Russia, he tries to locate the two women and makes plans to get them out. However, there are those who have been anxiously awaiting his return, so much so that they will stop at nothing to bring Jenkins to justice once again, as well as a mafia don with revenge in his blood. As the tension mounts, Jenkins will have to formulate a plan to get out of Russia and back on American soil, or die protecting the silent sisters as they flee! Another well-paced novel that shows how versatile Robert Dugoni can be!

While I came to know the work of Robert Dugoni through his crime thrillers, he has surprised me with some great pieces that push the boundaries and take things in other directions. This Charles Jenkins espionage thriller seemed to come out of nowhere and has been gaining momentum for a while. It has all the elements of a stunning thriller, hinting at Cold War situations in a new and technological world. The rise of the new Russian enemy is the perfect backdrop for this piece, which has something for everyone.

Charles Jenkins remains a great protagonist in this piece, serving both as a CIA operative and family man. He has been forced to return to danger, putting his family at risk, but does so for the country he loves. There are surely some strains found within, but Jenkins knows what he has to do and is made out to be the only one who can do it. There are harrowing moments throughout, testing his mettle, but Jenkins seems always keen to do what he can, even if it puts him in excruciating pain.

As with all other Dugoni novels I have read, there is much going on and a need to keep things straight. I loved the back and forth offered by the narrative, as it kept me on my toes and wondering what would happen next. Dugoni offers up a masterful array of options in his narrative, which gain speed as the tension mounts. Strong characters and a plausible story help move things along as well, while short chapters keep the reader coming back for more. There is a real sense of ‘new Cold War’ with these pieces and Dugoni hits the nail on the head. He gives the reader a true sense of the urgency, the slow revelations, and the need to always stay one step ahead of the enemy, if only to ensure one’s own safety. The added benefit of a regular peppering of Russian throughout the text gave it a sense of realism. While I cannot be sure if the scheduled trilogy will end now (some authors seem not to be able to rid themselves of a character, even after they have promised a handful of books), I know I will keep my eyes open for possibilities and exciting new avenues.

Kudos, Mr. Dugoni, for a wonderful story that held my attention throughout. You have a way with words that I thoroughly enjoy and I cannot wait to see what’s next.

I really enjoyed the conclusion of this trilogy. Had to suspend disbelief that a 6' tall Black man could weave in & out of Russia without detection. However, the book addressed this very issue well, if not completely.
The premise of the novel is intriguing, and the protagonist embarks on his mission with some reservations, but no less dedication. A satisfying read - recommended.

I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

For a series that started off so well, this installment was disappointing. It felt like it was trying to do too much, getting bogged down by too many different storylines. It was made up of several different shorts that were distantly connected.

The pacing was terrible. For a spy novel, I expected it to be fast paced and exciting. The tension didn't really exist and the thrill was minimal at best. It didn't live up to the stakes the way the others did. Without the proper pacing, the ending feels a little hollow and a lot inevitable.

I also felt like I was being spoon-fed the same information over and over. By 70% of the way through the book, I should know who the dirty players are by name. I shouldn't - and didn't - need to be reminded. It didn't seem to fit with the others on a technical level.

As much as I recommend the first book, I wouldn't recommend this one unless someone has a TON of time on their hands and reading a mediocre book won't upset them.

This is the last of a trilogy; I have read all three. I started reading them because I really enjoy Dugoni’s Tracy Crosswhite series; he does know how to spin a good tale.

Charles Jenkins, retired CIA agent, is called back to duty yet another time to return to Russia to try to rescue the last two of the Seven Sisters, Russian women raised from childhood to spy for the Americans.

Spy stories are not my favorite, but once again Dugoni lured me in with an easy to follow, suspenseful, engrossing, fast read, albeit a bit violent. As with many stories in this genre, I found some of the action a bit of a stretch and a little too convenient, but enjoyed this read, Although this can be read as a standalone, reading The Eighth Sister first will provide much more context.

I've loved the Charles Jenkins series and The Silent Sisters was the perfect ending to the trilogy! If I were Jenkins I definitely would not have gone back to Russia after everything that he's been through there but I was so glad that he did! I love a spy thriller that can still keep me guessing and surprise me right up until the very end. This book was filled with just the right amount of thrills and surprises to keep me up until I finished it!

This was a light, fun read. I will note that I did not realize it was the third book in the series until after I read it. I did wonder if there were more books as this referenced things the main character did in the past, but it is definitely fine to read this as a standalone. Any relevant info is given, but not too much to make it feel clunky. Really while reading people refer to Jenkins and how he helped a lady escape from a Russian jail and I kept thinking I wonder if the author will write that story. I would read it. Only to find out of course he did, I just didn't realize it at the time.

So this is the story of Jenkins and the last of the "seven sisters" that are left in Russia. He is trying to help them escape, help them get a new life in the US. These sisters were people who were spies for the US and trained to be from birth. They all had prominent positions where they could find information to pass on and it must have been a difficult life for them, but they did what they had to do.

Now of course everything doesn't go as planned with the rescue mission and lots of people are after Jenkins and the sisters for various reasons so it was fun reading how everything played out. It was fast-paced, though I did keep stopping to look up places the characters were as I don't know that much about Russian geography and wanted to see what the different places looked like. I will say that the characters didn't always seem to make smart decisions, like some of the things didn't seem like they would be a good idea or wouldn't work the way they did, but it was still a fun read. And who knows, maybe that is what you would do in these situations. I liked Jenkin's strong moral code, I enjoyed the sister we got to know and seeing a slice of her life in Russia, I enjoyed the story. Now I will have to go back and read the other books and see how the past events alluded to played out.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

The Silent Sisters is the third installment in the Charles Jenkins thriller series, and one can only hope there will be more. Robert Dugoni is arguably the finest American novelist of this generation., and his novels cover a wide range, from thrillers to mysteries, to literary fiction. Highly recommended. #TheSilentSisters #NetGalley #SaltMarshAuthors

Charles Jenkins is back in the U.S.S.R. ? I was a little hesitant about him going back for the third time. But in The Silent Sister you don't feel like it's totally inappropriate. When I read the second book in this series I felt like "not again" but in this book Robert Dugoni wrote a masterpiece. I got really hooked by the story and had a really hard time to put the book down. The gallery of characters is magnificent and so is the storyline. But I do wonder what will happen next, if there will be a next time. If you like thrillers and spies then this is something for you. I must thank @netgalley @amazonpublishing and #ThomasAndMercer for giving me this advance copy. of #TheSilentSisters by #RobertDugoni
