Almost Home by Pam Jenoff FIC Jen

Jordan Weiss left America to pursue a graduate degree at Cambridge in England.  She was also a member of the rowing team.  And that is how she met and fell in love with Jared who was on the men's rowing team.  The school year was coming to an end.  There was one more big race for Jared the next night.  During a party on the eve of that race, Jared disappeared.  His body was later found in the river.  It was listed as a drowning - even though he was an excellent swimmer.

Jordan leaves England and never wants to return.  She gets a job in the State Department and for the next ten years she travels the world and has some dangerous assignments.

After avoiding the memories in England for 10 years she suddenly asks to be transferred there when she receives a plea from Sarah, a dear friend.  Sarah has ALS and would love to see Jordan again before it is too late.  Soon after her transfer to London Jordan is contacted by an old college classmate (and close friend of Jared's).  He is certain that Jared's death was no accident.  Together they delve into a cover-up and try to find justice.

I really liked the book.  It kept my interest from beginning to end.  I'm checking out other books by Ms. Jenoff!
