The Spy Coast is a fun, fast-paced thriller.
Maggie Bird, a CIA operative, retired in a small coastal town in Maine. A murder in her small town, linked to an old covert operation, pulled her back into the life she left behind. Ex-spies teamed up with Maggie to unravel secrets, while Maggie also dealt with the fallout of choices she made long ago.
Maggie is not the typical spy. She’s older, more experienced, and carries the emotional scars from past work. The author, Tess Gerritsen, explored themes like aging, redemption, and regret, which gave Maggie depth.
The book is fast-paced but balances the action scenes with reflective moments so readers can connect with the characters.
I recommend The Spy Coast to anyone looking for an exciting thriller that also has heart, spirit and an unforgettable protagonist.
