Suddenly Spying is an imaginative and very entertaining novel

suddenly_spying_cover

Gin Mackey  has a tremendous imagination and she puts it all to work in her novel, Suddenly Spying. The subtitle, A Mapcap Caper, doesn’t begin to describe it.

The plot is imaginative, that’s for sure, with Nora Gallagher joining her sister as a secret agent and spy, sent to Barlanadana Island to stop a coup by a dangerous drug dealer called Tommy the Twitch. There are lots of amusing twists (ok twitches) and turns in the story, and you won’t want to stop reading.

Virginia “Gin” Mackey is a Maine author whose stories have been published in anthologies Best New England Crime Stories 2016 and others. Check out her website at www.ginmackey.com. She is past president of Sisters in Crime/New England, a writing group, and lives in Owls Head, where – great news! – she’s working on a new novel. Can’t wait to read it!
