I scored this book 5/5
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
In this book Aidan Kelly is put to work as a spy once more. The middle-aged bookkeeper thought she regained her freedom at the end of the first book only to be dragged into the spy-world once more in the second book. In this book her co-worker John Kane gets shot when he is suspected of treason. Aidan believes in his innocence and works on proving this.
I loved this book as much as I did the other two. Who would expect a boring bookkeeper to be a kick-ass spy? And for a little while it also looked like she would find a happily-ever-after but I guess that’s not (yet) on the card for her and her boys yet.
There is nothing in the book I didn’t like.
Too many to count, I loved the book.
There were no least favourite bits. The book makes you want to read on and not stop after the next.
That is the good news, there are 14 more in the series already and I can’t wait for no. 15.
In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
Children No
Young Adult Yes
Adult Yes
If you like a tongue-in-cheek spy mystery this book may be the book for you.
I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Book 3 of the Never Say Spy series
Middle-aged bookkeeper Aydan Kelly never wanted to moonlight as a spy, but she doesn’t have a choice. Working with computer networks in a secured building sounds safe, but it turns out the job’s a killer – literally.
When Aydan’s trusted co-worker is shot while committing an apparently treasonous act, Aydan embarks on a secret mission to clear his name. But her investigation casts suspicion on the director of operations himself. If he’s a double agent, Aydan’s in more danger than she ever imagined… and national security hangs in the balance.
- Spicy suspense served hard-boiled –
By profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and ex-interior designer. I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the sense to quit the one I sucked at.
To deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure novels featuring a middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.
This seemed more productive than indulging in more typical mid-life crisis activities like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones, and cruising across the country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since it’s winter most of the months of the year here.
It’s much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell, Harleys are expensive. Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.
Oh, and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick with the writing.
