Gone Before Goodbye

This book was fun. That being said, within the world of thrillers, I am coming to learn that my favorites are of the domestic variety, usually a marriage gone wrong or someone going missing from a neighborhood. These types of thrillers feel more realistic to me and are maybe scarier? This one was action-packed . . . like reading a James Bond movie! Maggie McCabe is a disgraced doctor. After a series of devastating events, she commits malpractice and loses her license. When an old colleague (an elite plastic surgeon with an anonymous clientele) reaches out to her with an enticing offer, she finds herself in Russia, operating on a billionaire oligarch. But when said oligarch goes missing, Maggie’s life is on the line, and she finds herself becoming a fugitive as she races to figure out what happened. This is a total pageturner and completely unputdownable, but I’ll say that several parts felt very implausible to me, which is why it only gets a B+. Very much worth reading, just be warned about that!
