FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Dead in a Week by Andrea Kane was a book that left me wondering if things like this really happen today. I say that because as I was reading it, I could imagine things like this happening and that scares me. I have no doubt that we live in a world were people would and could do things like this. I have to say that I couldn’t figure out what was going to happen, and I loved that. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book because I was never sure what was going to happen next. I have read several book similar books but this one sticks out to me because it seemed like it could really happen and if I found out tomorrow that they did happen it would shock me. I fell in love with Abby right from the start she seemed like such a sweet little girl and because of her I fell in love with her dad because of her. I must respect a man that has a little girl and does that job that Aidan does. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I can’t wait read more by her because I fell in love with this author after I was done reading this book. If you are looking for something new to read, I pick up a copy of this book and check it out.

About The Book

Genre: Suspense Thriller Published by: Bonnie Meadow Publishing Publication Date: March 19th 2019 Number of Pages: 384 ISBN: 1682320294 (ISBN13: 9781682320297) Series: Forensic Instincts, Zermatt Group What would you do if your daughter was kidnapped and given only a week to live?

Lauren Pennington is celebrating her junior year abroad when life comes to a screeching halt. At Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, she engages in an innocent flirtation with a charming stranger for the length of a drink. Drink finished, Lauren leaves—only to be snatched from the streets and thrown into an unmarked van.

Officially, Aidan Deveraux is a communications expert for one of the largest financial firms in the world. In his secret life, the former Marine heads the Zermatt Group, a covert team of military and spy agency operatives that search the data stream for troubling events in an increasingly troubled world. When his artificial intelligence system detects Lauren’s kidnapping, Aidan immediately sees the bigger picture.

Silicon Valley: Lauren’s father, Vance Pennington, is about to launch a ground-breaking technology with his company NanoUSA—a technology that the Chinese are desperate for. No sooner does Aidan arrive on Vance’s doorstep to explain the situation than the father receives a chilling text message: hand over the technology or Lauren will be dead in a week.

In a globe-spanning chase, from the beer halls of Germany, to the tech gardens of California, to the skyscrapers of China, and finally the farmlands of Croatia, Aidan’s team cracks levels of high-tech security and complex human mystery with a dogged determination. Drawing in teammates from the Forensic Instincts team (introduced in The Girl Who Disappeared Twice), the Zermatt Group will uncover the Chinese businessmen responsible, find the traitors within NanoUSA who are helping them, and save Lauren from a brutal death.
