THROWBACK THURSDAY: BOOK REVIEW

 NEVER SAY SPY, Book 1 By Diane Henders
Genre: Thriller, Action, Suspense 
Published: Oct. 12, 2011
Words: 100,970
Language: English
ISBN: 9780987818812

Despite her penchant for weapons and ripe language, Aydan Kelly’s resumé reads ‘bookkeeper’, not ‘badass’. She’s leaving the city to fulfill her dream of rural tranquillity when she gets carjacked by a man who shouldn’t exist.

This novel is about a Canadian bookkeeper in her 40's who gets mistaken for a spy, making for an unusual albeit interesting plot. There were a few farfetched scenes that were unnecessary, over the top and absolutely unbelievable. The constant use of swear words by the protagonist should have put me off, but she made it work in a snappy direct way. The way she fell into her role makes me pity her enemies. Because nobody’s tougher than a middle-aged woman who wants her dream back. 

Rating: 7/10
