Mrs Spy: An evocative and exhilarating ride through 60s London, described as "The Thursday Murder Club for spies": Mrs Spy
Autor M. J. Robothamen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2025
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?

Recenzii
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.
Dark, twisty, and thoroughly entertaining, Mrs Spy is a Thursday Murder Club for spies. You won't be able to put it down
If you liked Netflix's Black Doves, you might enjoy this. Good fun
A gripping story and great 60s detail, Mrs Spy is the female answer to Harry Palmer. Loved it
A hilarious and gripping page-turner
With a well-drawn, witty protagonist and a twisty, intelligent plot, this book will appeal to fans of spy novels and 1960s nostalgia
Maggie Flynn is a true original: a smart, intrepid, middle-aged spy with acute instincts and aching bunions. Her investigation into her husband's death takes her on a fast-paced and perilous whirlwind through Sixties London, in a story that's full of period atmosphere as well as insights into the world of espionage

An exhilarating ride through the 60s
Nukes, traitors, misogynists and the Beatles - a romp but an intelligent one
A cracking read
