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.
I couldn't put this down!! I found that I was soon engrossed in the storyline and just had to keep reading. I really liked our main character Maggie, whilst she was enjoying her quiet life she still knew her stuff from back when she worked.
I loved the fact that we discovered Maggie's story bit by bit however that made me just have to keep reading as I needed to know what had happened to her in the past 16 years ago! I thought the was that the storyline unfolded was just great and I really did not know where we were heading as we got to the end. It could have been a number of people that it could be - I can honestly say that I was NOT expecting it to be who it was!
I love the writing style of the book and it just flowed so well, even though some chapters were from other characters points of view it still just flowed! I am very pleased to see that this is Book 1 of the Martini Club! If you'd like to grab a copy then you can do so here #Aff
