One thing I love about this book: is set in South America. I have not had the opportunity to read many books set in Latin America, so I look forward to reading it. I am also intrigued by the plot.

With the crime and history in the mix, I'm super excited to start reading this book. I'm glad that it's not too fast-paced, as this ensures that important information don't get lost. I'm also intrigued to see if Peter manages to save his family. Thanks for one amazingly written review!

I would go to great lengths to protect my family from danger. After reading the sample and the book review, I am interested to learn what happens next to Peter Gray and his family as they attempt to flee to safety. Excellent review and congratulations to the author on Book of the Day!

I equally love books whose storylines sound natural and realistic. This will enable me to empathize with the characters' emotions and thoughts. Thanks for the review.

In the past months, I've read a ton of different historical fiction. But this one is slightly different because of the setting. The storyline is also amazing. So, I'm looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations on BOTD.

C/T/M/H is the book of the day. A story portrayed in the 60s. Peter made all effort to protect his family from terrorist attack but his effort was naught when his family were slaughtered by this terrorist group. I would like to know what happened after that in this engrossing tale. Congrats on the BOTD.

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. This reminds me of a wartime book, and I don't care for those. It is just due to my preferences that I will pass on this book. I'm sure many others will enjoy it.

This piece of historical fiction sounds very interesting as I have never read a book set in Uruguay. The Tupamáros Territory Movement sounds very frightening so I am looking forward to seeing how Peter saves his family from them. This book sounds exciting so congratulations on BOTD.

The book title is a little off-putting but the story seems very good especially the cultural introduction of Uruguay, names and how the story develops.

This seems to be an exciting book. Peter is doing everything is make his family safe. Escaping the prying eyes of the Tupamáros will, however, not be easy. Thanks for the review.
