4.5 out of 5 stars
I wanted to start the New Year with a really good book and The Spy Coast was one of my favourite novels of 2025. I liked it so much that I bought this book, the second of the Martini Club series, soon after finishing the first. It was a good choice.
This installment may be more realistic than the first one, as the club members realize that they can be distracted just like regular folk. Declan manages to break his ankle, then he and Maggie visit a long term care facility. They both find themselves horrified by this view of a possible future.
As usual with me, the mystery is fine, but it's the characters who truly engage me. The third volume will be published here in August and I will be excited to read it.
