Another fast paced and thrilling book from Kim Sherwood. Double or Nothing was a great read but A Spy Like Me is even better! With excellent characterisation and high levels of suspense this is another unputdownable book.
I was caught up in the story straightaway. I enjoyed meeting characters from the previous book but this could also be read as a standalone novel. There is plenty of intrigue and suspicion about double agents at the highest level which kept my interest throughout.
This is another superb book from a writer who has managed to build on the work of Ian Fleming whilst stamping her own style on the series.
I gasped aloud at the ending - be prepared for a thunderbolt!!
I sincerely hope that there will be more of these to come - I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment.
Wow! What a fantastic, gripping read this was. Pure Bond from start to finish. I’m blown away by how good this book was!
Superb.
This is the second 00 story by Sherwood and was immensely enjoyable, a real joy to read and difficult to put down. Themes follow on from the first double 0 novel - Double or Nothing (also by Sherwood and also brilliant) with Moneypenny, M and Q together with the other double agents & some new faces.
The other 00 agents on this story can be found at various times in the UK, France, Russia, Italy and Afghanistan & elsewhere. There are brilliant set pieces that read cinematically in crystal clear focus.
Where is 007, who knows, someone must know, read this and you may find out, or will you?
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
If you want a thriller for summer pick this, you can thank me later 5/5.
This was the second '00' novel in the series and I enjoyed this one even more than the first.
With characters new, as well as some familiar faces, this story moves between a number of different locations and certainly keeps the readers turning the pages again and again
Wow what a book thank you ever so much for the opportunity to review. I could not put it down. Would definitely recommend to others
When I was a teenager I read the original Fleming books. I had grown up with the gadget laden mayhem of the films. I found the original books had a totally different style. Less gadgets, more suave sophistication. Kim Sherwood’s addition to ‘Bond and Double 0s’ is found in this latter expression of the murky world of espionage and corruption the Double 00’s work in. Here sent forth by an excellently portrayed Moneypenny, as the story is pulled from interwoven threads from around the world. James Bond plays but a minor role. A third in these books must be on the way, and a bigger part for him I think! There are
