Maggie deceived!

The Spy and the Snake (Mrs. Spy #2) by M. J. Robotham       

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoyed this. So much so I read the previous title. 

It’s post WWII and MI5 personnel Maggie Flynn seizes the opportunity to head back into the field with both hands. It’s the beginning of the Cold War and Maggie is sent to Budapest to extract a  British defector, Fitzroy Carver, and bring him safely back into his country’s arms. 

Fitzroy has demanded a woman agent be used. Cue Maggie!

Only Maggie finds herself up against the AVH, Fitz’s demands, KGB, and MI6.

The experts expected Maggie to fall at the first fence. When she doesn't their plans are blown out of the water.

Maggie has explored her own contacts and gets in touch with an older agent, Dottie Hands.

An unexpected turn of events has Maggie looking at alternative plans to sew confusion and doubt.

Exciting read!
