Resumen del Editor

In this fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies go codebreaking in Cairo in another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls.

Codename Kathmandu, better known as Kat, loves logic and order, has a favorite eight-digit number, and can spot a pattern from a mile away. So when a series of cyberattacks hits key locations in London while the spies are testing security for the British Museum, it’s clear that Kat’s skill for finding reason in what seems like randomness makes her the perfect candidate to lead the job.

And while the team follows the deciphered messages to Egypt and the ancient City of the Dead to discover who is behind the attacks and why, Kat soon realizes that there’s another layer to the mystery.

With more players, more clues, and involving higher levels of British Intelligence than ever before, this mission is one of the most complex that the group has faced to date. And it’s also going to bring about a change to the City Spies…

Most amazing book ever!I Love the authors way of making feel like I am watching the things unfold!

It is a good book because it has big things that you don’t see coming!

Love these books!

We don’t want to have to wait for the next !!! So good. And we learned a lot about Egypt.

Never fails! City Spies Always AMAZING!!

Another amazing story with amazing performance. If I had 1 complaint is that I can't wait for Book 5 to come off after that cliffhanger ending!! LOVE the series and LOVED this book! Highly recommend to anyone of any age group.

Best book in the series!

I love it! The last line creates so much suspense for the next book! I can’t wait!

Incredible book NEED ANOTHER VERY SOON!!!

OK this was a great book really loved it but there was one problem that was such a giant Cliffhanger but over all it fantastic defiantly would listen to a couple more times.

LOVED THE BOOK SO MUCH

ONE OF THE BEST SERIES I HAVE EVER READ AND I HAVE LISTENED TO A LOT OF STORIES!

Somewhat of a letdown

I believe this City Spies novel did not live up to the previous three books in the series. Ponti’s work lacked the intense intrigue and detailed character development I have come to love (and expect). We do watch Kat grow in confidence, but at the exclusion of the other spies. The addition of Mother’s son Robert needed more depth, as did the relationship between Robert and Clementine. Also, the book seemed shorter and more slap-dash than the previous three, as if Ponti were furiously working under a looming deadline. I will say that Ponti has once again done his homework, interweaving facts and knowledge about Cairo and surrounding areas. Overall, though, the result was a somewhat vanilla entry in the series. I look forward to a more action-packed next book, especially given the major cliffhanger delivered at the book’s end. One more note: The narrator once again does an impeccable job voicing all these characters and the situations in which they find themselves. Don’t pass on this book, but don’t expect the same high quality as the others.

Great series!

I can’t wait for the next book! Ponti is a great author for late elementary and above!

Ehh…

Book three is ten times better. It’s just sad that there isn’t enough of actual plot that there was a need to introduce Robert/Cairo.

AMAZING

I have listened to this series so many times I can almost quote the lines of Kat and Brooklyn I can’t get enough HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
