So I really thought this would be a romance type of book but it surprised me by basically being a spy novel! It follows a grandma and her grandson going across Europe to try to find out what happened to people in her past when she was a spy for the Russians. At times the book was confusing, lots of nods towards communism and KGB that were a bit lost on me. Writing style was very easy to get into and overall I wanted to know how it ended.
I feel the front cover and tag line does not suit the book and that may need to be thought about.
I'm going to read more by this author as I enjoyed the style of writing and I do like a spy novel.
I'm not sure I enjoyed the ending, it felt rushed. One minute we thought it was one person who was the spy and literally the last chapter it was someone else!
Bit of death and suspense thrown in.
4 stars and would recommend to a friend :) :)
