Historical fiction
Danger, intrigue, the Olympics, and a possible romance take center stage in this novel. The plot is twisty and the story kept me captivated despite a few slow spots. The historical references to events during the Olympics added a significant layer of interest and realism to the plot.
One Fell Sweep by Ilona AndrewsThis series have been written in an episodic manner. It's still fun to read then out of sequence.
