Produktbeschreibung

'Dark, twisty, and thoroughly entertaining, Mrs Spy is a Thursday Murder Club for spies. You won't be able to put it down' - Ava Glass Get ready for a pulse-pounding, laugh-out-loud ride through 1960s London as Maggie Flynn, unexpected MI5 operative and single mum, unravels the intelligence agency's most treacherous secrets. *** Maggie Flynn isn't your typical 1960s mum. She's a spy, an unsuspecting operative for MI5, stalking London's streets in myriad disguises. Widowed and balancing her clandestine career with raising a Beatles-mad teenage daughter, Maggie finds comfort and purpose in her profession - providing a connection to her late husband, whose own covert past only surfaced after his death. But Maggie's world spins out of control when a chance encounter with a mysterious Russian agent triggers a chilling revelation: he knew her husband. And what's worse, the agent suspects someone on home soil betrayed him. As Maggie searches for answers, she'll question everyone - and everything - she thought she could trust. In the murky and perilous world of espionage, can she outsmart those determined to keep her silenced? *** 'A gripping story and great 60s detail, Mrs Spy is the female answer to Harry Palmer' - Ian Moore 'Mrs Spy is a delicious recreation of 1960s London... rich and well-constructed' - Emma Flint

Rezensionen

Mrs Spy has invented a new genre - the domestic spy story in where the redoubtable heroine can knock up a shepherd's pie as efficiently as knocking off an enemy agent. Smart, funny and tense - Mrs Spy has a license to entertain. Daisy Goodwin
