Review Quotes:
"The self-deprecating protagonist is an endearing character and her travels across Europe are a lot of fun" --The Guardian (best crime and thrillers - review roundup)
"Robotham has an impressive sense for the many shades of Magyar grey under communism while Budapest is vividly drawn. Flynn finds her way among a people who have "learnt how to play the system" with "that little thrum of resistance never too far away". Robotham delivers a tale as enjoyable as a slice of dobos torte, the famed Hungarian layer cake with a crunchy topping that Flynn so relishes." --Financial Times "Buzzing with vivacious storytelling and jeopardy, at its heart is the blossoming of Maggie: 'a middleaged woman questioning herself" --Sainsbury's Magazine "The much-anticipated second novel in the Mrs Spy series" --My Weekly Magazine "Read this for the evocative 60's atmosphere, the tense spy thrills and the tenacious heroine at its heart" --Culturefly "Entertaining, witty and a strong sense of atmosphere, particularly office life on London and everyday life in Communist Hungary" --Historical Novel Review "Loved all the Sixties detail" --Judy Moore - Yours Magazine "Glorious caper set in the 1960s" --The Westmeath Independent, Offaly Independent, The Connaught Telegraph, The Meath Chronicle, Westmeath Examiner, The Ango-Celt The Westmeath Independent
