Short
Summary of the book:
In this book, Aidan Kelly is put to work as a
spy once more. The middle-aged bookkeeper thought she regained her freedom at
the end of the first book only to be dragged into the spy-world once more in
the second book. In this book her co-worker John Kane gets shot when he is suspected
of treason. Aidan believes in his innocence and works on proving this.
What
I liked about the book:
I loved this book as much as I did the other
two. Who would expect a boring bookkeeper to be a kick-ass spy? And for a
little while it also looked like she would find a happily-ever-after but I guess
that’s not (yet) on the card for her and her boys yet.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
There is nothing in the book I didn’t like.
My
favourite bits in the book:
Too
many to count, I loved the book.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
There were no least favourite bits. The book
makes you want to read on and not stop after the next.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
That is the good news, there are 14 more in
the series already and I can’t wait for no. 15.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

If
you like a tongue-in-cheek spy mystery this
book may be the book for you.
I
look forward to reading more books by this author.

Description by Author:
Book 3 of the Never
Say Spy series
Middle-aged
bookkeeper Aydan Kelly never wanted to moonlight as a spy, but she doesn’t have
a choice. Working with computer networks in a secured building sounds safe, but
it turns out the job’s a killer – literally.
When Aydan’s
trusted co-worker is shot while committing an apparently treasonous act, Aydan
embarks on a secret mission to clear his name. But her investigation casts
suspicion on the director of operations himself. If he’s a double agent,
Aydan’s in more danger than she ever imagined… and national security hangs in
the balance.

About
the Author:
By profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and
ex-interior designer. I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the
sense to quit the one I sucked at.
To deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure
novels featuring a middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.
This seemed more productive than indulging in more typical
mid-life crisis activities like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones,
and cruising across the country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since
it’s winter most of the months of the year here.
It’s much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell,
Harleys are expensive. Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.
Oh, and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick
with the writing.
