About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Leslie Langtry comes a mystery series of laugh-out-loud proportions....

When CIA agent Merry Wrath is "accidently" outted, she's forced her into early retirement, changes her appearance, and moves where no one will ever find her - Iowa. Instead of black bag drops in Bangkok, she now spends her time leading a young Girl Scout troop. But Merry's new simple life turns not-so-simple when an enemy agent shows up dead at scout camp. Suddenly Merry is forced to deal with her former life in order to preserve her future one.

It doesn't help matters that the CIA sends in her former, sexy handler to investigate...or that the hot new neighbor across the street turns out to be the local detective in charge of her case. And when Merry is forced to take on a roommate in the voluptuous form of a turned KGB agent/bimbo, things become trickier than wet work in Waukegan or cookie sales in the spring. Nothing in the CIA or Girl Scouts' training manuals has prepared her for what comes next....

Imagine a CIA operative who refers to ‘baddies’, who has retired but decided to go back to her home town and change her hair colour, so no one recognises her (which they don’t) and who doesn’t work, but hasn’t found the time in a year to buy furnishing for her house... If you can overlook those kinds of things then this book is quite enjoyable, it is well paced and colourful, even if the main character comes across as thick as a brick!

One of the daftest books I’ve ever heard

This is a really easy listen; it's fun and daft (she'd never be a CIA agent!) but who cares?! Just listen and enjoy, laugh along and forget the rubbish of everyday life. The thing that I did struggle with though was the narrator! Something about her voice and the way she pronounced things that I found irritating. I think she was a really slow reader and quite childlike, however once I just accepted that, I still enjoyed the book and will listen to the next ones.

Easy, fun listen but narrator isn't for me
