“You always have to trust your gut.”
The first thing that I have to say is I don’t like the CIA butting into my life or the main character's life. I find it a bit rude to interrupt my life for someone else who looks like me. It’s a hard no. I don’t like it at all, especially for the main character, Max.
Second thing, why did I have a feeling that Max Handler might be familiar? And I was right. It’s Max’s former love from years ago. Talk about heartbreak and betrayal all in one. That will be hard on anyone on any day. I feel for Max.
Third thing, we have a second chance trope in this cute cozy mystery book. And why do I feel so heartbroken for Max? She literally didn’t think she would see her former lover again after so many years. Now, he is her handler. I think it’s a good thing because they both have feelings for each other that need to be addressed. Best to get closure than to linger on.
Fourth thing, the roommate! I don’t know why, but I love him. He is one of a kind. The way he is so unserious yet determined to save Max is just perfect. I need him as my roommate.
Fifth thing, the comedy throughout the cozy mystery book had me going. There were so many moments that I laughed out so loud. It made the read lighthearted while the main character, Max, was trying to stay in character and stay alive.
Last thing, I had a feeling who was behind it. You always have to trust your gut. It’s always someone you know. Always.
