The 39 Steps: A Contemporary Reimagining by L.M. Somerton📖Book Info
FROM AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE L.M. SOMERTON
Uncover the conspiracy, outrun the enemy, and trust no one—survival is the ultimate test.
Oberon Wycherley never thought his dull London life could take a deadly turn—until a frantic neighbour, American journalist Art Carew, claims to have uncovered an international conspiracy. A Greek industrialist is marked for assassination by a shadowy cabal called the Black Stone and that’s only the beginning.
When Carew is found dead in his flat, Oberon finds himself the prime suspect—and the only one who can stop the plot. Fleeing to the rugged Scottish Highlands, Oberon must decipher Carew’s cryptic notebook while dodging assassins and evading the police. Along the way, he forms an unlikely partnership with the enigmatic Syd Whatten, a man whose charm is matched only by his secrets.
As the Black Stone’s sinister plan accelerates, Oberon and Syd race against time to unmask the conspirators. From explosive escapes to a high-stakes standoff on a storm-battered coastline, every step brings them closer to the truth—and deeper into danger.
Will they foil the plot in time? Or will Oberon become another casualty of a deadly game?
A gripping blend of espionage, danger and unexpected alliances, this reimagining of The 39 Steps will leave you breathless to the last page.
💭Our Thoughts
There were a lot of elements? Events? I did not see coming.
Do you know the saying "be careful what you ask for"?
That applies here.
Oberon is bored and thinking about a change of scenery
However, finding himself running for his life, accused of a murder he did not commit, while trying to uncover a conspiracy, was not quite what he was thinking. He also didnt foresee Syd or their chemistry.
Possibly the only good thing that could come from this - That is, if they both survive.
This had some great twists and "No Way" moments as well as some high heat between Syd and Oberon.
The author did a fabulous job of bringing the cities and places to life, as well as the details that kept our guys from being captured with all of today's surveillance techniques
