While this book is a spy thriller, it is also Christian fiction. In prior reviews of Ehrlich's books I was critical for the Christian side not being mentioned in the plot until the ending. Christian fiction should include spirituality throughout the entire story. In Two Days in Caracas Ehrlich gets it right. We read about Titus Ray's faith struggles from beginning to end. It made perfect sense to include this part of Titus's personality in the story. Also, because this is Christian fiction there is no foul language, immoral conduct or details on how a character was tortured. I read alot of spy thrillers and didn't miss any of it.

I had some personal issues with whether Titus Ray should have a job as a spy given his faith. He regularly kills people for his country. Is this an appropriate job for a Christian? I have read in newspapers over the years that men who work for the CIA are a religious bunch. I can't believe that it's an OK job for them. I was quite uncomfortable when Titus prayed for success before an operation wherein he was going to snatch a terrorist that might involve killing him. I don't see God as taking sides so this felt unseemly.

The story was entertaining. It's unique plot and fast pacing made it hard to put down. The only difference between this type of spy thriller versus the traditional genre is that this one does not have cliffhangers or any suspense between the chapters. Some folks will be turned off by this but I felt that it was charming. We still have an interesting plot and characters that are well-developed. ( )

This story picks up where book one, "One Night in Tehran", leaves off. The hunt for Ahmed Al-Amin will continue as Titus Ray tries to find out who the high-profile government official is that Ahmed is being sent to Costa Rica to kill. A family crisis at home though could jeopardize his mission and so could his new untested partner, Mitchell.

This is a very fast paced adventure that is full of intrigue and suspense and just a touch of romance. Titus Ray is also a new believer and I like how he is learning and growing in his walk with the Lord as he faces all this danger and intrigue. He is learning who he can really trust and turn to when all else fails. I am anxious to begin the last book in this series, "Three Weeks in Washington" next. ( )

I read and enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was excited to find the second one. I did not enjoy it as much as the first, though I am interested in seeing if Nikki and Titus make it work. ( )
