Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She's also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past.

But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie's driveway, she knows it's a calling card from old times. It's been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.

Step forward the 'Martini Club' - Maggie's silver-haired book group (to anyone who asks), and a cohort of former spies behind closed doors. With the help of her old friends - and always one step ahead of the persistent local cop - Maggie might still be able to save the life she's built.

The Spy Coast is the first novel in The Martini Club series.

Looking forward to the next novel

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. The writing is solid and it left me curious to read more. I love that the protagonist is a woman of a more ripe age. She’s fantastic.
The only HUGE complaint I have is that the accents in this audiobook were some of the worst I have ever heard in my life. The British accents sounded like ‘drunk Australian’ at best. I really struggled with that. If you can’t do an accent properly: don’t do it. It’s distracting. I really hope that particular narrator (I don’t know which one she was) will be replaced in the next novel

Good clear story

The idea of going back and forward in time was good. A cross over spy and love story worked well. However the need for two readers who sounded so alike seemed unnecessary
