Book Review: Diamonds Are for Eden

Driven by my heightened interest in Israel since my trip there last May, I decided to check out Diamonds are for Eden by Felicia Mires. It’s the story of Natasha Kelly, a secure courier who becomes an agent for Israel’s famed foreign intelligence service, the Mossad.

The action in this novel makes me glad I read on Kindle — otherwise I’d have gotten paper cuts from turning pages so fast. The action and suspense kept me eager to see what was coming next.

No profanity, no sex, and although like most thrillers this requires a certain amount of violence, it was never handled in a way that was explicit or exploitative.

The novel is also rich with authentic details about Israel that reminded me of things I loved about the country.

If you like spies, like action, like suspense, or like Israel, definitely don’t miss Diamonds are for Eden.
