Emma Reads Crime

Tess Gerritsen is one of my favourite authors and after enjoying the first book in The Martini Club series, I was so looking forward to this one (book 2 of the series).

Maggie Bird’s ‘book group’ aka a group of retired spy’s are back after a teenager goes missing down by the lake where the summer people stay. The Martini Club’s good friend becomes a prime suspect and they get to work to help acting Police Cheif Jo Thibodeau uncover what really happened to the missing teen.

In book 1, you get a lot of back story into Maggie Bird and while reading this book, having knowledge of all that back story made this book so much more enjoyable! I love all the characters so so much! I wish they were real as I would love to join their ‘book club.’

You could probably read this as standalone but I really would recommend reading book 1 first (even if it isn’t quite as good IMO).

Spy thrillers aren’t my usual thing but this has been done so well and it definitely feels more like a police procedural/cozy mystery type novel. I enjoyed the story, it was filled with so many twists and turns.

I already cannot wait for the next book in the series!

If you like the sound of this, it is available on Amazon here.
