Unfortunately I did not finish this book and have passed it on to my husband to try. It had good promise, first few chapters were exciting. I enjoyed the thrill of the escape and her love story, a bit too fleeting and not enough detail for me, but once we settled into Lisbon it just got boring and I couldn't see where the book was headed or what we were doing in Lisbon. I didn't truly understand her spy mission. Perhaps this style of book just isn't for me. I felt the style of writing was easy to read and I didn't ever feel like I couldn't understand what was happening I was just really bored. Never mind. Hopefully my husband can finish and will enjoy it more than I did. Sorry only 2 stars for this one.
