The Watchers
Ratings2
Average rating3.3
Jay Harper finds himself in Switzerland on the trail of a missing Olympic athlete. A hard drinker, he can barely remember how he got home last night, let alone why he accepted this job. When he meets the stunning but aloof Katherine in a hotel bar, he quickly realises that he's not the only one in town who's for hire. She's a high-class hooker who can't believe her luck. Which is about to change. For the worse.

I always view it as a bad sign when, 200+ pages into a 600 page book, I still have no idea what's going on or where a book is going.
From my uncle! The end veered a little Da Vinci Code for me in a "this plot is QUITE complicated" way, and although the setting is current the characters have pretty anachronistic ways of speaking (this is arguably justifiable in 2/3 cases for the main characters, but only arguably). STILL, effective suspense and an interesting threading of various historical themes. And good enough for me to want to read the full trilogy.
