The Red Lotus by Chris Bohjalian
3.0
So, not the best book to read during a quarantine, that's for sure.
Alexis and Austin go to a bike trip in Vietnam, but Austin goes missing, leaving only some energy gels behind. Alexis soon falls down the rabbit hole as things that Austin was telling her weren't making sense. She hires a PI to try to figure out why he went missing and why the people who knew Austin best, are lying to her.
Chris Bohjalian really does an excellent job describing the ins and outs of his character's minds. A master of inner thoughts. This global thriller really shows how easy it might be to spread a pandemic, which is a little scary to think about.
