Short
Summary of the book:
At the end of the last book, Aidan’s spy-boss
Charles Kemp became concerned about the safety of not only his wife and
daughter, but also his parents. Charles’ parents are the leaders of a hippie
commune and he sends Aidan there in this book to both heal from her
post-traumatic stress and safeguard his parents. But all is not as it seems and
as in the other books, Aidan comes across a lot of surprises. Surprises she can’t
even tell her boss about. We, of course, also see John Kane and Arnie Hellhound
pop out throughout the book to provide the intrigue of a love-triangle or a
little more.
What
I liked about the book:
I loved this book as much as I did the first eight.
The twists and turns in this book lead to some surprising revelations and Stemp’s
flower-power and peace parents hide their own secrets.
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?

summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Description by Author:
Book 9 of the NEVER SAY SPY series
After four uneventful months spent guarding her boss’s
eccentric hippy parents on an isolated raincoast commune,
bookkeeper-turned-secret-agent Aydan Kelly is beginning to hope mildewed undies
will be the only hazard she’ll face.
But some of the blissed-out flower children are not what
they seem. Aydan discovers a plot to kill her lovable charges, and in her fight
to protect them she unearths the commune’s deepest secret. Suddenly she’s
facing dozens of enemies who threaten the lives of all the innocent commune
members as well as her own.
She’ll only survive with a little help from her friends…
- 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.
