Book Review: Azabu Getaway
Reviewed by Toni Woodruff
High stakes. Big Money. Non-stop mystery.
It's not every day I encounter a thriller with as many mysteries as this one. Azabu Getaway keeps readers constantly asking questions, zipping around from perspective to perspective to complicate the situation, to develop the chase-down, and to make sure readers never skip a beat.
With a big cast made up of detectives, high rollers, and family members, you know this thriller is going to be a handful. Hiroshi, a forensic accountant turned detective, is leading the way in a case about a high-powered investment company CEO who was killed in his office. But his murder isn't the only mystery being passed around. In fact, this book is filled with them. Who's sending pictures of infidelity to Patrick, an investment whiz for the investment company, and his wife? Who's chasing down those closest to Patrick, and what do they want with him? Should Patrick really have taken his daughters?
While Patrick and nearly everyone else at Nine Dragons has enough money to fund their own happiness, do they really have the security to enjoy it? Not with what the CEO has been doing behind their backs. In Azabu Getaway, there's danger lurking around every corner because of what the CEO got himself (and others) into.
To protect his family from the high-powered danger tracking him down, Patrick removes his daughters from his wife's home. His narrative revolves around getting them out of Japan safe and sound. But as people close to him start falling, it's clear that he's not going to get his daughters out of here without damage, if he gets them out at all.
