I Spy

A Novel

De: Claire Kendal

Narrado por: Imogen Church

You don't see me
But I see you

From the author of The Book of You and The Second Sister, a twisty new thriller—perfect for readers of J.P. Delaney and Emily Elgar.

Holly Lawrence always wanted to be a spy, but the experience proved more dangerous than anything she imagined. Now, Holly lives under an assumed name, hiding from the man who nearly destroyed her life. She avoids relationships and trusts no one.

But Holly’s new life begins to unravel when she encounters a young mother and her two-year-old child… a child who reminds her of a past she has tried hard to forget. This time, someone is spying on her, and Holly will need to decide how far she is willing to go to survive.

Story didn't go where I thought

As always, I LOVE Imogen Church's performance. The story was okay. I liked that it switched from past to present. The mystery of what happened in the past that lead her to the present self was intriguing. However, the ending left me feeling disappointed. It was still a good story but not what I expected with a title of I Spy. I didn't understand the involvement with MI5 and felt it could have gone further into that aspect of the story. Instead it was about a love triangle and a baby.

Jumping around

If you like a book that jumps back and forth between times this book is for you! It is not my kind of read! It was just too confusing!

“I Spy” is a long and overly complicated audiobook

I liked that love between two complicated people and their desire to have a child is a focus. The man, a doctor and the woman he lives with, being asked to spy on him and others in their circle of friends. The woman gets pregnant but the baby dies. Her loss hits her profoundly. The characters travel in various countries but have advanced technology at their fingertips. Twists and turns are many. The audiobook is long which is why I bought it plus the spy topic. 4 stars right for reasons mentioned. I have done many audiobooks. Kingsolver’s “Demon Copperhead” won a Pulitzer Prize and deserved 5 stars that I gave it!

Suspenseful and enjoyable

The story was well written and many twists and turns kept me interested. This reader is fabulous. Overall suspenseful and engaging. I plan to look to other books by this author

Fantastic!

Loved it! Great book. Shocked, sadness, excitement, confusion. All of them kept me listening. Thank you.
