In Archidamus by Janet Shawgo, the good guys are Zack, a female CIA agent, in love with Eric who has been kidnapped. Taylor is Eric’s very rich brother; Bevan is Zack’s boss in the NSA and the one trying to keep her safe. Aaron Caydon is the very bad guy who wants to disappear and never be seen again, but not until he completes the kidnapping plan of Eric and gets lots of money from Taylor and, even more importantly, he kills Zack. She is the one woman who has found him and gotten close enough to have put a scar on his face. The story takes us around the world with stops in Ireland, New York, Georgia, Virginia and Wyoming, and each place is loaded with excitement. Zack and her partner, Lane, face danger daily but never stop in the search to find Eric and then to destroy Caydon. There are weddings, births and love in Archidamus as well.

Archidamus is a mystery story with so much going on that is impossible to put down. I found this story to be fast paced and filled with suspense, mystery, adventure, love and action. Author Janet Shawgo understands the true meaning of a mystery story and did not disappoint with Archidamus. The characters were very well defined and it was impossible not to root for the good guys and hope that the bad guys got what they deserved. I think anyone who enjoys a good mystery with lots of action will love Archidamus.

What a great read from an author that has stepped out of her comfort zone of historical fiction to Mystery suspense and a little paranormal. Rich rich characters, traveling to countries most of us can only dream of! I have read all of Janet's books and this one did not disappoint . Hooray top marks for this author and Archidmus!
