Review: Nico by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Nico by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nico Stratus only recently got back from a Mavericks mission with Miles then suddenly he has been assigned a new one in Australia. It seems prominent activist Charlotte Ankerby has been kidnapped from her hotel room just after she arrived there to speak at a rally and with her brother working deep undercover there are fears that this is related in order to blackmail him - he Nico has been asked with a buddy to try and find her quietly and quickly. For her part, Charlotte never wanted to make the trip in the first places she had decided to concentrate on writing books to get her message across, but she bowed to pressure only to be almost immediately kidnapped. When they find and rescue her it is only the start of what turns out to be an almost forensic examination of her family and her public life in order to identify the kidnapper and stay safe - especially as bodies start to pile up. Nothing makes sense in this mission as Nico is determined to keep Charlotte safe - especially as that takes on a more personal turn. Can they work it all out?

This was a dramatic story as they did everything they could in order to work out who was behind it. I enjoyed the process of working out who was responsible as it meant I could try to work it out too. The dynamic between Nico and Charlotte was really sweet as they worked through the mystery of the kidnapper as well as how her life had changed. Well written it was very enjoyable.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
