(10)The Power Couple by Alex Berenson

 

Brian and Rebecca Unsworth have struggled for years on Rebecca's salary as an FBI agent. It has taken a toll on their marriage, and years of bitterness and resentment are hard to overcome. However, things have been looking up since Brian sold his app, so they are going to take their kids to Europe for their twentieth wedding anniversary.  Kira has finished her freshman year at Tufts and Tony is in high school and they are both craving some independence. So even though Rebecca is incredibly apprehensive, she agrees to let Kira go to a nightclub one night in Spain. But when Kira doesn't return, Rebecca and Brian are thrown into the middle of a nightmare in which someone has kidnapped their daughter. The Unsworths are desperate to get her back and will do anything to make it happen. Will they get Kira back and will their marriage survive the biggest challenge of their twenty-year marriage?

The Power Couple is one heck of a thrill ride about two government employees and the temptations caused by greed. The story is narrated from Rebecca and Kira's perspective at first, but then about halfway through Brian starts to narrate, as well. It is very clear that the Unsworth's do not have the best marriage, with both of them contributing to the animosity that has built up over twenty years. I can see both sides of the story but empathized more with Rebecca. And of course Kira. You would think that the book would end with the resolution (good or bad) of Kira's kidnapping, but that is not the case at all. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS

Bottom Line - The Power Couple is an exciting thriller with twists so subtle you may miss the breadcrumbs if you aren't paying attention. But don't worry if you miss them, it will make the twists so much more thrilling at the end.
