Mission Improbable: Vietnam
By: Nancy Nau Sullivan

This is a fantastic mystery novel that has elements of history, adventure and the main character reflecting on her life. Blanche is on a journey with Jean McMahon to find Jean’s mother. Blanche is interested in going on this journey so that she can explore her own history as well as find out more about her own father’s death.
The author has particular talent in setting the scene of Vietnam after the Vietnam war. This is so interesting to me as I don’t know much about Vietnam, yet the author did a great job in visually taking me there. She did a fantastic job describing the culture as well and I found myself completely engrossed in these details.
Nancy Nau Sullivan does a fantastic job in creating characters that are developed and relatable. I especially loved Blanche – she was a special kind of stubborn that I definitely enjoyed.
The story is well paced and filled with twists and turns. I loved how the author combined mystery with history and looked at the effects of war that last long after the war ends. I definitely recommend picking this story up!
