The idea of a secret British and America spy agency may seem unlikely in these fractious times, but if you can suspend you imagination, this is an absorbing tale.

I hadn’t realized that CJ Box was so strongly set against the feds. We all have our criticisms and things we’d like improved, but this story is full of characters who are pretty close to believing there’s nothing good about our national government. I know that isn’t true because I know a bunch of government workers who work hard because they believe they’re serving the American people. I think those who believe otherwise will pretty shortly find out that they miss some things that are currently being destroyed about our government. We’ll see.

Carlene Bauer writes about an extraordinary friendship and women trying to find their way in a world that offers them less than they want and more than they know how to handle. Hilarious and wry.

Liked the ups and downs of the narrative, the resourcefulness of Karl’s friends, and the instances of grateful people who showed their gratitude. A wild ride

Louise Penny’s Gamache series is always entertaining and this is a good if not great addition to the lineup. Maybe the action was too scattered amongst Armand’s trusted colleagues or maybe I missed spending time in Three Pines. Whatever the lack, it was still a good listen, and I’m getting used to the new narrator, who is talented but doesn’t quite have the warmth—or even the strong accent— of the first.

I had forgotten how much MacBride depends on his main character grousing, or I should say "whinging," which I think the Scots use as well as the Brits. MacBride's series protagonist Logan McRae is pretty much one big complaint, and Angus MacVicar, his new guy in this novel, is the same. Some readers or listeners might find humor in his endless bad luck, bad weather, mistreatment from colleagues, and gripes about the same, but reading this is no pleasure for me. Maybe I'll hold out long enough to see how moaning MacVicar and the annoying American profiler solve the case. Maybe not.

The narrator has a great voice for this dark and gritty story. He’s maybe a little more melodramatic than suits my taste, but Cosby has penned a gripping narrative about a grim feature of our republic that still remains. Maybe the heightened tone fits.

I appreciated the developing relationship between Cal and Tre and the support they both get from Fiona?? Cal’s girlfriend. I don’t remember names as well when I hear them as I do when I see them on the page. Good story with suspense and lots of heart.

This is an absorbing story, but I have to say I enjoyed the daughter’s flight across the country more than the story of her mother’s radical past.
