    This is a great list! I am trying to add some more action and suspense to my reading list. My book club recently finished an awesome thriller called “Countdown America” by MC Fox (https://mcfoxauthor.com). The book follows CIA agent Isabella who is a really likable and admirable character who you find yourself rooting for throughout. She is put in situations that no one wants to be in dealing with cyberterrorism, a failed assassination, and the abduction of her children! I think it’s great to read about a strong woman taking charge in such an action-packed story. It kept me at the edge of my seat from start to finish. Hope your readers will check it out.
