One for armchair travellers who can’t get on an aeroplane because of the pandemic. An action packed adventure in Barcelona, with some great scene setting, the third in the award-winning Nikki Garcia international fraud thriller series. Colorful scenes, tantalising food, powerful plotting. A great escapist read. Kathryn can be heard talking about the book on The Joys of Binge Reading podcast.
Book Three of the Nikki Garcia Thriller series finds the investigator and her fiance Eduardo in Barcelona on a much-deserved vacation. It doesn’t take long before they realize that someone is stalking them, and won’t stop short of eliminating them.
Like the other books in Lane’s series, Revenge is filled with picturesque snippets of the city that is its namesake. But don’t be fooled, this is more than a travel journal. When they realize their lives are in the sites of a hired killer, the plot takes a turn. Nikki and Eduardo must be smart and think fast, faster than their pursuer.
While part of a series, it’s not necessary to have read the other two – Revenge in Barcelona makes a good standalone – I haven’t read the others in the series, yet enjoyed this one. Fast-paced, filled with twists, what really intrigued me is that early on we see a man who might be after them, and get a front-row seat to just how savage he can be. It keeps you turning the pages to the very last one.

“Revenge in Barcelona” by Kathryn Lane is a novel spanning the genres of mystery, thriller, and sleuthing. The main characters are private investigator Nikki Garcia, and her fiancé, Eduardo Duarte. Nikki Garcia works in Mexico as an international fraud auditor, but recently she’s received death threats, and has decided to reside in another country due to these threats.
Nikki doesn’t know who or where the threats are emanating from, as her vocation often puts her in danger with many enemies. A fraud auditor is a dangerous job, especially when your main duty involves, “where’s the money.” Nikki and her fiancé decide to relocate Barcelona, Spain, a long way from Mexico! After their arrival, Nikki realizes that she hasn’t escaped the dangers. The person(s) threatening her life has a long arm! Who is trying to harm her? Why?
“Revenge in Barcelona” is a super sleuth/suspense novel. What I essentially mean by super is that everything was clearly well-researched by the author prior to writing the book. For one to write this type of novel takes a great amount of time so that all the locations, sentences, and plots “match” the storyline. She just didn’t write the book, but brilliantly plotted a great cast and smooth plots. (I researched her research)!
The plot is stupendous with elegant, well-written prose, and the flow is upbeat. There is no back flipping with this book, meaning you won’t have to return to a previous page to remind you of what you already read. Now, what’s extremely savvy and smart about, “Revenge in Barcelona” is this: because this novel is set as an international thriller, spanning exotic locales, the author has added a map and glossary to the story!
The glossary is smartly provided. Anything stated that the reader isn’t familiar with is made plain….brilliant move. And with the detailed map provided, not only can you visualize the various cities and countries, but you’ll feel like you’re there. “Revenge in Barcelona” is part of the Nikki Garcia thriller series by Kathryn Lane. Lane smartly gives enough information to keep the flow going in the series and it also holds its own as a standalone mystery. I highly recommend “Revenge in Barcelona.” A thrilling story with a well-researched plot – it’s easily 5 Big Stars.
