About This Book

A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING READER FAVOURITE



'Dark, twisty, and thoroughly entertaining, Mrs Spy is a Thursday Murder Club for spies. You won't be able to put it down' - Ava Glass



Get ready for a pulse-pounding, laugh-out-loud ride through 1960s London as Maggie Flynn, unexpected MI5 operative and single mum, unravels the intelligence agency's most treacherous secrets.



***



Maggie Flynn isn't your typical 1960s mum.



She's a spy, an unsuspecting operative for MI5, stalking London's streets in myriad disguises.



Widowed and balancing her clandestine career with raising a Beatles-mad teenage daughter, Maggie finds comfort and purpose in her profession – providing a connection to her late husband, whose own covert past only surfaced after his death.



But Maggie's world spins out of control when a chance encounter with a mysterious Russian agent triggers a chilling revelation: he knew her husband. And what's worse, the agent suspects someone on home soil betrayed him.



As Maggie searches for answers, she'll question everyone – and everything – she thought she could trust. In the murky and perilous world of espionage, can she outsmart those determined to keep her silenced?



***



'A gripping story and great 60s detail, Mrs Spy is the female answer to Harry Palmer' – Ian Moore



'Mrs Spy is a delicious recreation of 1960s London... rich and well-constructed' - Emma Flint
