A review by robinlovesreading
The Tourist by Olen Steinhauer

4.0

Milo Weaver wanted out of the CIA. Some of the jobs he had to do really got to him. He simply got tired of living a life full of lies. But, he gets drawn back in after the death of assassin leading Milo to begin an investigation of a colleague.

Milo thought he dealt with secrets and lies before. Now, however, he finds that he must dig into some very old cases. This means that he must go undercover yet again. There goes his identity.

Reading a novel about the CIA is something new to me. I chose to grab this series from NetGalley and was able to read all three books, and look forward to the last book in the series coming up next year, The Last Tourist.

The characters, plot and scenarios are truly complicated. Thankfully for me, I had the next two books in the series and read them in order. This helped me to find a place in Milo's world. Also, I was able to imagine myself in an action movie while reading the book. This helped to make the rather unbelievable drama and danger seem not so unlikely.

The Tourist proved to be an excellent spy thriller, and now I have yet another genre to seek out.

Many thanks to Minotaur Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
