Short Summary of the book:

The story continues and middle-aged widowed bookkeeper Aidan Kelly still works as a secret agent. Now she needs to continue pretending she is a seasoned secret agent to protect one of her lovers. Fuzzy Bunny has caught up with her and want to recruit her alter-ego Arlene Widdenback as an arms dealer. Sirius Dynamics want her to get the prototype of a new weapon and want her to play along. An unexpected wedding and a plane crash are only two of the things to happen in this book.

What I liked about the book:

I loved this book as much as I did the first six. As in the other books there are many twists and turns mixed with humour and I just love the sassy Aidan Kelly.

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:

Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

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.

Book Description by Author:

Book 7 of the NEVER SAY SPY series

Middle-aged bookkeeper Aydan Kelly knew pretending to be an experienced secret agent was a bad idea, but it was the only way to protect her lover. Now her lies have caught up to her in the worst possible way: everyone believes them.



Armed with nothing but a sleazy porn-star cover identity, Aydan must infiltrate a criminal organization to retrieve a secret weapon prototype. With her lover’s life at stake as well as her own, she can’t afford to fail. But she has no idea how to succeed...

- Spicy suspense served hard-boiled -

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.
