Description

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, a covert operative for MI5, stalking London’s streets in myriad disguises.

Widowed and balancing her clandestine career with raising a very angsty 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 dangerous world of espionage, can she outsmart those determined to keep her silenced?

Interesting story told with a witty undertone I found this writers writing had matured a lot from her last book. The plot held up well and the characters were solid. I want to hear from Mrs Spy. Fun read that left me feeling empowered and wanting more...who runs the world GIRLS

It was nice seeing this kind of storyline from a different perspective. Usually, it's a male protagonist who is either ex-military or comes from a rough and dysfunctional background. So, seeing a female protagonist with a family getting in all kinds of scrapes and dangerous situations was a fresh take.

This story follows Mags; it's the 1960s, and she lives with her teenage daughter, who is Beatles obsessed and her mother, who is.... colourful. After the death of her husband, Mags finds out his life and death were anything but normal. After an encounter with a suspected KGB defector, Mags is forced on a path of coffee, Gin & Tonic, and deception as she battles against the Establishment to find answers and right a number or wrongs.
