Impressive thriller by first-time novelist

Expats, Chris Pavone. New York : Crown, 2012.

Kirkus:  A thoroughly competent and enjoyable thriller with unanticipated twists that will keep readers guessing till the end.

{ from 3/10/12}

intense, compelling and, for the most part, expertly paced

Kirkus rather liked it.

Kirkus: it's well worth sticking with the story; both the hero and the villain are as compelling as the portrayal of Norwegians doing whatever it takes to survive the war and then paying the price.
