Fun story of retired spies who get drawn back into the game when a dead body is dumped on one's driveway.
Enjoyable characters, twisty plot, nicely written.

#12BooksOf2024 My book for #April is this brilliant 1st book in a new series by the author of Rizzoli & Isles. A small fishing town in wintry Maine, a group of retired CIA & a body left on one the ex-agents doorstep. I wish I had half the balls Maggie Bird does! Reminds me a lot of Killers Of A Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn with less snark.
pickGood times! Definitely lighter in tone than some of the entries in this series. For all that the stakes include threats of everything from ruination of reputations, careers, to bodily injury and death, I'm pretty sure the body count was non-existent. 1/?
I‘m only reading this book. Simon & Schuster sent me a physical ARC of this book when I was in their influencer program but I never read it. I‘m listening to it on audio right now. I‘m not enjoying this book. I don‘t think it‘s for me but I‘ll keep reading it. If I can‘t get into it then I‘ll DNF it.

I started this book when I went for a walk to the park today. I just listened to the first chapter. I don‘t know what to think about this book. The weather was nice and I enjoyed my walk but I really wish I could‘ve taken my dog Toppy with me. I was planning to take her once the weather got nice again. It felt weird not having her there with me. I cried when I got home. Well at least I got to take her for a walk before she passed away.
pickThis series is the only exception to my “read it before you see it” rule. Gary Oldman is phenomenal as Jackson Lamb—I love the way he plays the character—and having now read three of the books, I can say that the tv show does a great job of adapting already great stories. Laugh out loud funny, tense (even though I knew what was going to happen), and filled with more flatulence you would expect in a spy novel, this was another fantastic story.
