Intrigue and history combine

Right from the start, I was hooked — from the woman protagonist, to the murky history of the 1960s. Chapter after chapter the mystery and mayhem kept me turning pages and wondering how the hell the lead characters managed to continue through the fray! And then, when I thought I had untangled the plot, things took another inscrutable turn. The pace is quick, the narrative compelling, and of course there’s the tantalizing lure of exposing nefarious plots in our own government against our own leaders. There are so many characters it was sometimes challenging to remember the connections, but that was part of the fun. I gave it 4 stars out of 5, wishing for a more tidy and satisfying ending.

Would have been helpful to know there’s a book previous to this that should have been read first

Could barely finish pry a great book but why would Audible not notify buyer this is a sequel
