About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She's also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past.

But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie's driveway, she knows it's a calling card from old times. It's been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.

Step forward the 'Martini Club' - Maggie's silver-haired book group (to anyone who asks), and a cohort of former spies behind closed doors. With the help of her old friends - and always one step ahead of the persistent local cop - Maggie might still be able to save the life she's built.

The Spy Coast is the first novel in The Martini Club series.

Critic reviews

Powerful, resonant, absorbing, freighted with menace and suspense . . .
Gerritsen is a born storyteller, and this new series showcases her talents more than ever. Irresistible and highly recommended!

I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!

The Spy Coast is a marvellously plotted read with action-packed pages, G-force twists and turns, and a platoon of fascinating characters.
I truly hope to see Maggie Bird and her team of silver-haired helpers on the pages again.

A riveting tale filled with engaging characters. I look forward to the rest of the series.

A nice take on retirement-five old spooks whose bones may ache but whose minds remain sharp. You can expect mystery, action, and bloodshed in this exciting thriller

Compelling reading throughout, with astute characterizations, a fast-moving but understandable spy plot, and lashings of dark humor. Gerritsen fans and readers of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club mysteries will love this

Amusing and exciting . . . Maggie and her grey-haired tribe are more than capable of helming a long-running series

The Spy Coast is The Thursday Murder Club on steroids

Most relevant

A passable story that could lead to a really good new series however like many of the latest garrettston books it doesn't quite have the charm and catch that the initial R&I books had.

The performance is mostly good however the English accent that pops up quite often is absolutely appalling.
