MY THOUGHTS:

It’s almost Christmas and Victoria is worried about her son’s wife Tasha. They are in Sweden as Tasha’s diagnosis for a rare type of cancer is being the reason they’ve traveled so far. As if that is not worrisome enough, Victoria receives a terrifying phone call from her grandson Luke. Apparently Luke has been kidnapped and there is a ransom of $10 million demanded. Victoria and her husband Lucas begin gathering as many as her team as possible to try and trace the call.

Jamie Colby is Victoria’ granddaughter, one of twelve with the elite International Operations Agency, and she will no doubt be instrumental in saving Luke. The Christmas season is very dark indeed for the Colby family. Kenny Poe works alongside Jamie while they are attempting to rescue Luke. With the addition of another character named Abi, the puzzles in this book have been made difficult to decipher. 

Although this series is preceded by the long-running Colby Agency series, now there is a new generation. This and all the books are written as standalone novels. I may have missed the first series, but now having the opportunity to read this first book, I hope to visit with the Colby family again.

Many thanks to Thomas & Mercer and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
