Rachel Lynch – The Rift

‘The Rift’ by Rachel Lynch is a book that I jumped at the chance to read and review on the blog tour. I have previously read books by Rachel Lynch and know how good she is at her craft.

Royal Military Police Major Helen Scott is overseeing the security arrangements for a summit in Paris. While she is there Kahlil Dalmani’s, eldest son is kidnapped. Dalmani is an extremely wealthy and powerful man. Helen is put on the case to liaise with Interpol to find Dalmani’s son.

Grant Tennyson is head of security for Dalmani and his business interests. He has been tasked to find Dalmani’s son. Grant ends up working with Interpol, something he isn’t overly enthusiastic about. Helen and Grant work on their own leads until a piece of information comes to light that changes the direction of the investigation.

Rachel Lynch has again written a story that is an explosive and gripping crime thriller introducing us to characters that are well-crafted and interesting. The plot was a tense one with a mystery to be solved and a race against time, making it an interesting read too. Rachel Lynch must have researched forever to get this story perfect as we all expect. The richness of the descriptions of the countries within this book has the power to make you almost feel the heat as if you are there!

This duo of Helen and Grant would be great in another book, would be excellent to hear from this unusual pair again, soon!.

Thanks to Emma from Damp Pebbles Blog tours and Canelo for the copy of the book and my place on the tour.
