Críticas:

"A World I Never Made is a compelling page turner--one of those wonderful books with characters as strong as the story and a story worth reading. Don't miss it. LePore is an author to watch!" —M.J. Rose, author of The Memorist "I picked up A World I Never Made and was riveted from start to finish. An adventure to places both exotic and intimate, told with great sensitivity, inventive plotting, and propulsive suspense. Jim LePore is a great discovery." —William Landay, author of The Strangler "A World I Never Made is an outstanding first novel, and a wonderful thriller. The story moves very quickly, almost to the point that the reader feels as if they'll miss something if they put the book down even for a moment... I'm looking forward to James LePore's next work; this one was a gripping read that I would recommend to anyone." —Blogcritics "The key to this exciting thriller is the cast especially the Nolan father and daughter. Pat is terrific from the stunning opening sequence when he reads his daughter's suicide note, his lie re the corpse, which Laurence's superior Inspector LeGrand accepts though he knows otherwise, and subsequently his inquiry. Megan is mostly seen through his perception of her though the audience learns relatively early why the Saudis believe she is alive...fans will enjoy this one sitting suspense thriller." —Harriet Klausner, The Mystery Gazette "James LePore has written a fascinating suspense story of power and treachery, broken relationships and redemption...I highly recommend this compelling suspense story filled with vivid characters and haunting storylines. A story that will stay with the reader long after the final page." —Bella Online "Nothing could have torn my attention away from this story. A World I Never Made by James LePore is a must read for thriller fans!" —Cheryl's Book Nook "James LePore writes in an exciting and most readable style. He is an artist at building the suspense as the story progresses to its ultimate conclusion. There is just enough doubt about the possible outcomes to keep the reader wondering and turning pages. "A World I Never Made" is a fine tale filled with love, adventure, mystery and suspense." —Mainly Mysteries "Author James LePore has created a remarkable, gripping tale of suspense in his debut novel. Readers are expertly taken along with Nolan on a thrilling ride from the very beginning when we learn of the faked suicide to the harrowing search through numerous countries. A World I Never Made is filled with strong, vividly described international characters to whom the reader will quickly form an attachment, all the while being transported through wonderfully described exotic lands. The combination creates an atmosphere of breathless suspense affording readers a desire to continue reading up until the thrilling, yet tender, conclusion." —Feathered Quill Book Reviews

Reseña del editor:

Pat Nolan, an American man, is summoned to Paris to claim the body of his estranged daughter Megan, who has committed suicide. The body, however, is not Megan's and it becomes instantly clear to Pat that Megan staged this, that she is in serious trouble, and that she is calling to him for help. This sends Pat on an odyssey that stretches across France and into the Czech Republic and that makes him the target of both the French police and a band of international terrorists. Juxtaposed against this story is Megan's story. A freelance journalist, Megan is in Morocco to do research when she meets Abdel Lahani, a Saudi businessman. They begin a torrid affair, a game Megan has played often and well in her adult life. But what she discovers about Lahani puts her in the center of a different kind of game, one with rules she can barely comprehend. Because of her relationship with Lahani, Megan has made some considerable enemies. And she has put the lives of many—maybe even millions—at risk. A World I Never Made is an atmospheric novel of suspense with brilliantly drawn characters and back-stories as compelling as the plot itself.
