Book Review: A Most Clever Girl: A Novel of an American Spy

Check out my review of A MOST CLEVER GIRL: A NOVEL OF AN AMERICAN SPY for the New York Journal of Books. Here

“Thornton’s strong writing and seamless plotting compel the reader to keep reading, both to find out what happened to Elizabeth in her youth and to uncover the connection between the former spy and her would-be killer.”

Interview with Quiet Fury Books

Thank you to Quiet Fury Books for chatting with me about THE WAYWARD ASSASSIN. We did this interview a couple of weeks ago, and since then, the entire world seems to have shifted. And with it, my answer to the final question in the interview: If you won a paid vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Check out the interview to find out where I said I’d go. If you’ve been watching the news, you’ll understand why my answer is no longer valid.

On a brighter note, you still have time to read THE WAYWARD SPY before THE WAYWARD ASSASSIN hits bookshelves on March 15th!

Publishers Weekly Reviews THE WAYWARD ASSASSIN

Publishers Weekly calls THE WAYWARD ASSASSIN (coming March 15, 2022) an “entertaining sequel to 2021’s THE WAYWARD SPY.

“Ouellette, herself a former intelligence analyst for the CIA, imbues the exciting action with authenticity. Readers will want to see more of the wily Maggie, whose exploits have led her colleagues to brand her as either ‘a legend in the making’ or ‘a loose cannon liable to ignore the rules when they got in her way.'”

Not sure what to do with the Amazon gift card Santa gave you? Why not pre-order THE WAYWARD ASSASSIN? And while you’re at it, get yourself a copy of THE WAYWARD SPY.

Read the full review here. But reader beware…If you haven’t read the first book in the series (THE WAYWARD SPY), the review contains spoilers!
