The Silent Sisters by Robert Dugoni is the third instalment in the Charles Jenkins series but it holds up well as a stand-alone although I now wish to read the two preceding novels. The silent sisters are Russian women who have dedicated their lives to passing on secrets to the U.S. After two of them have not been heard from for an unrealistic length of time, Charles Jenkins is dispatched to Russia to find out what happened to the women and, if possible, bring them to America in order for them to begin a safe new life. Charles is on a death list in Russia and will be in grave danger while there. And then the action heats up. This is a well-paced cat-and-mouse thriller. What I found especially fascinating are the varied Russian settings. The characters are convincingly well-drawn and the plot moves at a break-neck pace. It keeps the reader on the edge of their seat until the conclusion. This is a definite bad-guy, good-guy yarn. As usual, a Robert Dugoni novel never disappoints and I look forward to his next novel. This is a thriller well worth the time. Highly recommended. Thank you to Thomas & Mercer, NetGalley and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
