Short
Summary of the book:
Aidan Kelly still dreams of going back to the
quiet life of a bookkeeper but there is no going back. She is forced to go
undercover once more and is forced to decide where her priorities lie when John
Kane’s son (he didn’t know he had) is abducted. Instead of safeguarding her own
future, she decides to do all to find her friend’s son knowing full well he may
already be dead. What will this do to the relationship between her and John?
What
I liked about the book:
I loved this book as much as I did the first ten.
Aidan’s principles force her to choose to save a child even if it means she
herself may be forced to go to jail. Not a mean fete for someone who suffers
with claustrophobia.
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?

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:
…If a kickass middle-aged bookkeeper got sucked into a spy’s
life…
Secret agent Aydan Kelly is hoping to resume her peaceful
life as a bookkeeper, until her director issues an ultimatum: Go undercover as
an arms dealer or go to jail for life. But when Aydan realizes her co-worker’s
son has been taken by a serial killer, she defies orders in an attempt to save
the child.
Neglecting her undercover assignment may cost more than just
her freedom. When the gunrunner she’s been baiting threatens her loved ones,
Aydan must choose between protecting them herself or entrusting their safety to
geriatric amateur vigilantes while she closes in on the killer.
How much will she risk for a child who may already be dead?
* * *
Contains coarse language, moderate violence, and
sexuality. The story can stand alone but
will be more enjoyable if read in order.
If Janet Evanovich’s quirky humour met Robert Ludlum’s taut
thrillers, the Never Say Spy series would be their love child: racy, fun, and action-packed!

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.
