"Spies in Plain Sight" by Lynn Hightower is a thrilling ride that kept me turning pages, but also left me with some mixed feelings.

I really enjoyed the fast-paced action and how the story blended mystery, suspense, and a bit of politics. The setting in Annecy, France, felt real, and I loved how the author brought the city and its people to life.

Junie, the main character, was brave and determined, and I felt for her as she fought to protect her team and uncover the truth. I also liked her relationship with Philippe, which added some warmth to the story. Not to mention the true her of the story Leo, her German Shepherd.

However, there were parts that felt a little slow or confusing, especially when the story got too deep into technical details. At times, I had trouble keeping up with who was on which side.

Still, the twists and turns kept me guessing, and the ending beat was great! This book is perfect for readers who enjoy action-packed mysteries with strong female leads.

Overall, I liked the book, even if I didn’t love every part of it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast-paced thrillers with a bit of heart.

Junie is a hearing impaired journalist, who is taking on a story of a bitcoin rich man who is destroying the environment with his mining in France. Lots of thrilling and fast paced story lines, and kept my attention throughout. Highly recommend.
