The Banker's Wife

In Cristina Alger's The Banker's Wife, this phenomenal thriller  deals with ground-breaking real life topics you hear in the news everyday. For Marina Tourneau, she was a happily engaged woman and investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal. But when she received a phone call from her editor-in-chief Duncan Sander, he proposed an interesting investigative case for her to write. It all started with a tip with some information on Morty Reiss, a man who had stashed hidden offshore funds and caused a financial scandal across the border. Duncan needed Marina to help him track him down. But later, she learned that Duncan was murdered, which set her world into a tailspin. For Annabel Werner, she believed that her husband Matthew was killed in a plane accident. But things aren't what they seem, when she learns more about her husband's dealings with the Swiss United Bank in Switzerland. For Marina and Annabel who had never met each other, they have questions and look for hidden connections to the same place, while hearing more secrets and lies. And Zoe Durand, who's one of the whistleblowers had risked her life to tell what she knows to blows this story wide open. But there's a lot of people who would stand in their way, even if it might hit close to home, with a twisted and shocking ending you can't believe.

This was absolute fantastic to read from start to finish. This would keep you guessing and turning the pages right to the end. I cared for Annabel, who had been dealt a shocking blow to her life, and was in total disbelief it could happen to her. I also cared for Marina, who had been hit hard with shocking lies and would do anything to get answers. I really feel bad for Duncan and Zoe who were both stuck in the middle of it all. I loved the vast array of locations from Paris, Zurich, New York City, and then to Mexico in the end. Every scene was mesmerizing and mind-blowing to picture us there with them. This would make you want to grit your teeth, hold your breath, and shake your head a couple of times with non-stop action, drama, suspense, and plenty of nail-biting mysteries.
