Bloomsbury presents Mrs Spy by M J Robotham, read by Clare Corbett.

'Dark, twisty, and thoroughly entertaining, Mrs Spy is a Thursday Murder Club for spies. You won't be able to put it down' - Ava Glass

Get ready for a pulse-pounding, laugh-out-loud ride through 1960s London as Maggie Flynn, unexpected MI5 operative and single mum, unravels the intelligence agency's most treacherous secrets.

***

Maggie Flynn isn’t your typical 1960s mum.

She’s a spy, an unsuspecting operative for MI5, stalking London’s streets in myriad disguises.

Widowed and balancing her clandestine career with raising a Beatles-mad teenage daughter, Maggie finds comfort and purpose in her profession – providing a connection to her late husband, whose own covert past only surfaced after his death.

But Maggie’s world spins out of control when a chance encounter with a mysterious Russian agent triggers a chilling revelation: he knew her husband. And what’s worse, the agent suspects someone on home soil betrayed him.

As Maggie searches for answers, she’ll question everyone – and everything – she thought she could trust. In the murky and perilous world of espionage, can she outsmart those determined to keep her silenced?

Kritikerstimmen

Mrs Spy has invented a new genre - the domestic spy story in where the redoubtable heroine can knock up a shepherd’s pie as efficiently as knocking off an enemy agent. Smart, funny and tense - Mrs Spy has a license to entertain. (Daisy Goodwin)
Dark, twisty, and thoroughly entertaining, Mrs Spy is a Thursday Murder Club for spies. You won't be able to put it down (Ava Glass)
If you liked Netflix’s Black Doves, you might enjoy this. Good fun
A gripping story and great 60s detail, Mrs Spy is the female answer to Harry Palmer. Loved it (Ian Moore)
A hilarious and gripping page-turner
With a well-drawn, witty protagonist and a twisty, intelligent plot, this book will appeal to fans of spy novels and 1960s nostalgia
Maggie Flynn is a true original: a smart, intrepid, middle-aged spy with acute instincts and aching bunions. Her investigation into her husband's death takes her on a fast-paced and perilous whirlwind through Sixties London, in a story that's full of period atmosphere as well as insights into the world of espionage (Gill Paul)
I loved this book: an absolutely gripping and heartwarming story... Down-to-earth, funny, tenacious and brave, we need more heroes like Mrs Spy! (Jane Bailey)
Mrs Spy is a wonderful, twisty, funny, fast-paced novel about the spy we would all like to meet. I read it from cover-to-cover in just a few days, and recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for a brilliant spy thriller with a twist. Loved it. (Hannah Dolby)
An exhilarating ride through the 60s
Nukes, traitors, misogynists and the Beatles – a romp but an intelligent one
A cracking read
Palpably exudes 1960s London, combining cultural and political elements unique to the time
A compelling and sometimes very funny spy entertainment – reminiscent at times of the late Graham Greene
