Sally Sin is a spy with Ian Blackford her personal nemesis. Her retirement, marriage and motherhood complicate her life. Lucy Hamilton, not her real name, is an inept ex-spy. She seems far more realistic than many of the two slick to be real “normal” spy characters. There is a lot of humor in McMullen’s approach to spy stories. Lucy/Sally/? Does her best to be a good wife and mother but life hands her complications.
I enjoyed the characterizations and as polarized as some of the caricatures were, they didn’t seem all that far fetched. The book was entertaining and held my interest. Sally Sin isn’t exactly a butt kicking protagonist but she holds her own.
I recommend the book.
