Description
If love and passion can prove so brittle against greed and ambition, what hope for truth and integrity?
Overwrought and tormented by a career-threatening investigation progressing in London, investment banker, Marcus Flint, seeks solace at a remote Swiss hotel – there is much more at stake – if sinister episodes from his past in Singapore become exposed, they will destroy not just his career but rip apart his family and his life.
Blind to the real reasons for his absence, his wife, Emma, is confused but keen to help, not least because Marcus rescued her from her own traumas years ago. As the London review threatens to turn global, disaster looms. Marcus feels compelled to write to Emma, to explain his actions – the ripple effects of greed, ambition and deceit cascading out of control, ultimately confessing to what he has done – his ‘darkest trade’. It’s a letter he hopes he never has to send.

I am on a mystery kick, and this is a good as a mystery afficionado can hope for. I didn't guess the ending but the clues were pertinent and the mystery was well fleshed out. Will definitely read more by this author!

The book was a little slow . And I was confused for most of it and I think I was mixing up some the characters in the book. I liked how the outline of the book and but I had to push through to finish it.

This author has a very engaging, sometimes challenging, style and I found it really a joy to read. The story is complex at times, but I found myself reading for the writing itself as much as for the plot, so I had patience in getting back to the story itself when things seemed to flow off in an odd direction. The story is multi-layered and I found it compelling as a whole.

I enjoyed reading this book! I think it was well thought out, had some good twists and turns, and to me personally, nothing was too obvious, just well written. I liked the story and characters. I like the writing style of this author a lot!!
Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
