Quest: Finding Freddie by Thomas Richard Spradlin is a masterful blend of skill and precision. This book is a rollercoaster of suspense and mystery, taking readers on a thrilling journey filled with twists and turns that will keep them on the edge of their seats and guessing until the very end.

This story follows the courageous Richard Spradlin, hired by Ruth Nachman, to find her husband, Frederick David Nachman. Mr. Nachman flew to Lagos, Nigeria, to broker a business deal. Freddie Nachman, the owner and CEO of Nachman International Trading Corporation, suddenly disappeared after leaving his hotel for a short walk. There has been no trace of him since then. His bed has not been slept in at the hotel, and nothing has been disturbed, or so says the hotel staff. Richard, with unwavering determination and bravery, undertakes life-threatening risks to pursue his quest to find Freddie, vowing not to give up until Freddie is found, one way or another.

The author's mastery of character development is evident as he skillfully intertwines suspense, action, and emotion in a fluid narrative. The characters in the book are not mere names on a page but intricately crafted and multi-faceted individuals, each harboring their own motivations and secrets. This depth and complexity add a layer of richness to the story, making it an utterly absorbing read. Each chapter is a treasure trove of unforeseen twists and revelations, ensuring that you'll be unable to set the book aside until the gratifying conclusion.

As a reader, I was completely captivated by the narrative, eagerly flipping each page to unravel the mystery of Freddie's disappearance and the enigmatic characters involved. There wasn't a single aspect of the book that failed to captivate me. The book's enthralling narrative and meticulously crafted plot kept my interest in the storyline until the end. I did discover a few errors in my review of the book that could have used a bit more editing. This, however, did not undermine my enjoyment of the book. I'm confident that this story will strike a chord with readers of all ages who relish mystery and adventure novels, with its compelling characters and heart-pounding twists. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly bestow this book 5 out of 5 stars rating. It's a must-read for all mystery and adventure enthusiasts.

Hey, Shirley! Thanks for a great review! I also read this book recently and really enjoyed it.

Subjectively, it’s hard for me to think that someone can just disappear with no trace, but, objectively, I know that it does happen. Usually the person disappearing does it of his/her own accord, however, sometimes not. I think it’s great that Richard puts in so much effort. Thanks!

Shirley Ann, you did a wonderful review of this book. I would like to read it. I am wondering if Freddie was ever found? Or, is it still a mystery? The backdrop of Lagos, Nigeria is intriguing. I am certain I will not be disappointed. I am hoping to snag this book through kindle unlimited. Thank you!
