****I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, NetGalley, book tours, and or authors.  A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.****

After spending a busy holiday season putting drug smugglers behind bars, CIA operative Cole Bridger is looking forward to spending a quiet Christmas in Vienna with his girlfriend and fellow operative, Isabelle Roberts. But when Isabelle is tasked with investigating a string of suspect financial transactions and redirects a suspicious package to a museum in Amsterdam, she inadvertently places Cole’s cousins in the crosshairs of a drug smuggling ring. 

Lars and Marit have no desire to be drawn into the deadly dealings of the criminal underworld, but when Lars’s sister, Tess’s, life is placed in danger, they willingly join Cole and Isabelle in their efforts to uncover the mastermind behind the drug smuggling ring. Unfortunately, the two couples’ involvement does not go unnoticed. And though each step brings them closer to the truth, they also reveal a startling picture of greed and corruption at the center of a dangerous organization that will stop at nothing to retrieve what it has lost.

My Review:

The series "Falcon Point Suspense" is one that I always jump at the chance to read. The first two books in the series were amazing and From an Unknown Sender can be described the same way. Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey are so in tune, you never know who has written a particular chapter. Both of them are fantastic writers and each has written so many books. There is also a historical part of the series that A.L. Sowards has written called Codes of Courage. That review will be coming soon.

It's great to be back with characters that you feel you know. Cole and his girlfriend Isabelle and Lars with his girlfriend Marit. Surprisingly they all play a huge role in this novel. We also get better insight into their personalities and their relationships with their significant others. The romance is nice but it's not the main part of the story.

From an Unknow Sender is full of action and mystery from the beginning of the novel. It was great how the plot unfolded as the story went along. The suspense aspect is off the charts too. The mystery involves a drug trafficking ring, who is behind it, and who committed a vicious murder. Readers are kept on their toes in anticipation as they watch and try to solve the mysteries alongside the characters.  There are many chase scenes, shootouts, boat racing, and yummy food eaten. It was also fascinating to have the POV of one of the bad guys. I liked having this additional insight.

If you like a good mystery suspense novel, this book and series was written for you. The non-stop action was not only entertaining but kept you breathless until the very end. This could be read as a standalone but trust me, read the book in order of how they were written. You will have a more rich and connective experience if you do.
