This book was a lot of fun. Slow to start, but all spy adventures start with a stakeout right? 

Vera Kelly is a CIA operative working in Buenos Aires searching for KGB connections while the country experiences a coup. She uses her intelligence, wit, and sexuality to survive.

This was a refreshing addition to the spy genre. I love seeing LGBTQ representation where it’s just a part of Theo they are. Overall, one of my favorites this year.
