Espionage, mystery, and action make this a fun thrill ride!
Maggie Bird, former CIA operative, has retired to the seaside Maine village of Purity. Along with some old colleagues from her past who've also made the small town their home, she's living there quietly on her farm, raising chickens and getting together occasionally for martinis and gossip. Still haunted from her last mission, Maggie hopes that she will finally settle in anonymity -- until the body is dumped in her driveway.
This was such an enjoyable read as the ex-spooks come out of retirement, dusting off their old skills, to find out who is trying to kill Maggie. I loved the way the author shifted the narrative from past to present, slowly revealing the details of Maggie's final assignment. Maggie's travels take her on a trip through her past via Bangkok, Malta, Istanbul, and London. As she confronts the tragedy that ended her career, danger is at every turn, but she has her friends who aren't quite ready for rocking chairs yet. Very fast-paced and I could not put it down.
Thank you to the publisher for an e-book ARC of this novel that I eventually purchased and highly recommend. I think this is the first in a proposed new series and I eagerly await the next installment.
Perhaps the first in a new series.
