My Musings:
I encounter many vibes from this fast-paced thriller. when I read the first few pages with the traveling description of Varon to Reed’s house I just feel like Bram stoker’s “Dracula” vibe. Then moving forward, the style of questioning, detailed investigation gives me a vibe of Sherlock Holmes.”
This is my second book of Peter, and I must say he pens his mystery elements extremely well and ties those moments together with clever threads of intrigue narration that builds suspense on every page of this excellent conspiracy novel. All the characters are strongly crafted, there are genuinely times when I feared for Victoria, but the reality at the end struck me. Now I am eagerly waiting for the second installment of the series.

Final Verdict:
Far from home is a thriller that serves up everything that high-octane thriller and conspiracy fans need.
