Reseñas de la Crítica

“Jolly & Preposterous Intrigue.” New York Times

"Bubbly, irrepressible... drawn by her breezy, chatty first-person narrative, readers will cheer Katy on." Publishers Weekly

“A clever, high-spirited story.” Times Literary Supplement (London)

Move over 007!

I loved this book from the very first chapter. The synergy of narrator to subject was instant and I fell into this story right away. I never wanted to leave.

The narration was easily the best I've ever heard. For me, Taylor ranks right up there with Davina Porter. Excellence on a stick!!

The story centered around a female James Bond set in the swinging 60's. The heroine, the illustrious Touchfeather, was a take-no-prisoners femme fatale of the highest order working for a British intelligence agency. Her day job as an 'air hostess' kept her cover and at night, the shenanigans began. And what shenanigans!

This was a mystery, wrapped in a thriller, inside a love story. It had light moments, it had serious moments, it had dark moments. Do yourself a favor and get to know Katie Touchfeather and her world.

60's espionage at it's finest and quite cute!

An interesting bit of political intrigue this was. The prologue has a warning of sorts that this novel was originally written in the free love 60’s and that language and perceptions would reflect such. I found it fairly enjoyable and thought about the 60’s when we stumbled over such areas. The protagonist Katy Touchfeather via the narrator was also a joy to listen to. I found myself smiling several times at her reactions and approaches to situations. Quite the girl that Katy. I thought the book a mix of Emma Peel from the Avengers and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., definitely tongue-in-cheek espionage. I liked the book and enjoyed the listen.

Reminiscent of Austin Powers

This is a fun listen set in the 1960's. Typically I listen to contemporary stories, so this was a little outside my norm. I found the action to be very reminiscent of an Austin Powers story, or James Bond meeting Stephanie Plum. The book is full of some unexpected twists, sexual innuendo, and non-stop adventure. I really enjoyed the narrator with all of her various characters. I requested a review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by both the author and narrator in the future as both are very talented.

Touchfeather!

I want more! I loved this book. It grabbed me from the very beginning. Katy Touchfeather is definitely entertaining. The best way I could describe her is, if 007 and Stephanie Plum had a child, it might be her. It wasn't as comedic as Stephanie Plum, nor as serious as 007. She is also very fearless, almost to the point of crazy. It had humor, action, mystery, and everything in between.

A fun retro spy adventure

I had no idea this was actually written in the sixties when I started this book, and it was definitely reads differently than a book written now about the time. It was a cool window into both the time and a great spy thriller. Katy is a great protagonist and the novel is fun well paced ride. Helen Taylor brings all the characters to life and does a great job narrating. The book is an a near counterpart to an old James Bond movie, and will entertain anyone who enjoyed the old Bond movies.
