Repatriate by Jaime Maddox is an interesting, drama filled novel that also covers some sensitive and relevant subject matters. It has a complex plotline that will satisfy both intrigue/thriller lovers as well as readers who love romance mixed into their mysteries.
Ally Hamilton is a physician’s assistant who was busted at work after she became addicted to opioids following a ski accident. As a recovering addict, Ally takes a job as a medical assistant for a home healthcare company. She hopes this job will eventually help her to get her medical license and maybe her old job back. One of the patients she works for is an elderly man who has many beautiful paintings in his home. Ally begins to wonder about the paintings and starts researching them. This leads her into a world of intrigue and danger.
I really liked the way the author treated Ally’s addiction. It was done with consideration and a realization of what folks in this position have to go through. The mystery and danger surrounding the stolen paintings is quite dramatic and kept me reading. The love interest between Ally and Maria, a doctor she is attracted to works well with the rest of the tale.
I enjoyed reading Repatriate. There really is something in this book for everyone. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for an honest review.
