Description
Book Synopsis
An American expat's startling discovery plunges her into the glamorous but deadly world of Amsterdam's diamond industry. Following a nasty divorce, Rayna Dumont came to Amsterdam for a fresh start. She's never been the type for a one-night stand, but this move is all about adventure, and Xander is handsome and successful and more than willing to go along for the ride. Until the morning after, when Rayna finds him dead on the shower floor and millions of dollars' worth of diamonds missing from his safe. From her lavish home in the heart of the city, Willow Prins is captivated by the news. Her husband is Xander's former boss and heir to a diamond house, and the scandal strains their already-rocky marriage. As the house comes under scrutiny, Willow wonders if her life is about to implode--and how much of the blame she can place on Rayna. Soon, Willow and Rayna are dragged into the dark and dangerous underbelly of the diamond market, where they'll have to uncover the truth to survive. Who killed Xander? Where are the missing diamonds? And who can you trust in a strange and unfamiliar city thousands of miles from home?Review Quotes
"Writing with authenticity and grace, Kimberly Belle provides a deliciously chilling look at the lives of two women - an expat in Amsterdam, and the woman who seems determined to ruin her. Twisty, glitzy and oh so fun!"
- Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Like the rare diamonds at the heart of this book, The Expat Affair begins with gritty raw material--two American women in Amsterdam, expats and strangers caught up in violent forces--and applies unthinkable pressure--murders, stalking, the demands of a famous family dynasty on its last leg--to test whether its heroines will crack or be forged into something greater. The result is a marvel: a glamorous, smart, and propulsive thriller that is as much about women finding their agency as it is a high-stakes international game of cat and mouse. Belle is the queen of crafting badass yet vulnerable women you want to see rule the world. What a knockout."
- Ashley Winstead, bestselling author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour "Set in Belle's beloved Amsterdam, THE EXPAT AFFAIR is a riveting tale about marriage, trust, and secrets inside one of the world's most prestigious diamond houses. An intimate portrayal of what it is to be a woman and of female friendships and motherhood, THE EXPAT AFFAIR is Kimberly Belle at her best."
- Danielle Girard, USA Today Bestselling Author of Up Close "Dark and dazzling! In THE EXPAT AFFAIR, Kimberly Belle delivers a propulsive thrill ride through Amsterdam's glittering and glistening underworld, where privilege has a price."
- Hannah Morrissey, Author of the Black Harbor series

This is a slow burn suspense and a murder mystery with two female protagonists who need to find the truth in order to survive the fallout. Rayna and Willow are both Americans living in Amsterdam. Rayna has escaped a scandal in the U.S. since her rich spouse divorced her and publicly humiliated her. Willow is married to the head of a major diamond company in Amsterdam. Her last name, Prins, is synonymous with wealth and diamonds, but she is barely treading water to keep her marriage afloat with all kinds of secrets that she is slowly uncovering. Willow’s priority is their young son Sem, so for his sake, she is holding onto a loveless marriage and hoping that Thomas will at least notice that she is still his wife. The scene is set for high drama when Rayna has a one-night stand with gemnologist Xander and discovers his body in the shower the next morning. Xander once worked for the Prins, so the stage for a murder mystery with plenty of suspects is set. I really enjoyed the slow burn as I tried to figure out the clues and the red herrings. I liked the interactions between the two protagonists, with their obvious differences and their subtle similarities. The plot was compelling and kept me engaged from beginning to end, with dual narrators and a story that dovetailed together seamlessly in the end. The characters were believable, somewhat relatable and uniquely portrayed in their roles as the possible next victims as both women were holding tightly to secrets that could lead them into the deep waters of a diamond industry where all is not as it seems. I really liked the character of the detective investigating the case. Boomsma was an intrepidly determined man who wanted to solve the crime and keep the city safe from the crime that seemed to revolve around the Prins family and their new acquaintance Rayna.He was dogged in his pursuit of the truth no matter where it lay and was not intimidated by the wealth and influence of the Prins. This book is a must-read for fans of great mysteries and well-written character studies where the characters themselves are part of the mystery.
