Eva Shaw, the author of “The Pursuer,” has written a suspenseful and captivating story. This is the third in the Beatrix Patterson series, but it can be read alone. The genres for this book are Mystery, Suspense, Fiction, and Historical Fiction. The timeline for this story is set two years after the ending of World War Two but goes to the past when it pertains to the characters or events. The author vividly describes the scenery and her dramatic characters. The characters are described as complex, complicated, unique, and quirky. Eva Shaw shows us betrayals, deceit, suspicious activity, false representations of identity, mysteries, thefts, danger, and murder.
Beatrix has the ability to find people, property, and things. Beatrix is a psychologist and is now married to Thomas, and hopefully plans to have a family. Thomas has some surprises as well. There is fallout from the war, and Beatrix is asked to find suspected war criminals and thefts of significant objects. As “The Pursuer,” Beatrix is determined to find “the truth” at any cost. Everyone is suspect and hiding secrets. There is danger and murder. There are twists and turns and unexpected revelations. I highly recommend this thought-provoking novel.
