The Widow Spy: A Novel by Megan Campisi
3.5
This book should have been catnip for me. A Civil War spy novel? Yes please! About the first female Pinkerton spy? Sign me up. But it was more like… maybe?!
I did like Kate as a character and her arc throughout the story. I really enjoyed the scenes that involved spy craft. However, I never felt immersed fully into the narrative. The rest of the book felt disjointed. And then it just… ended.
I did like the theme throughout the book of how knowing people lets you see them as more than the labels the world places on them. That alone would make for a great book club discussion.
Content Warning: Open door (vague, non graphic), Language, war and death, prejudice
Thanks to Libro.fm, Atria, and Simon Audio for the book. All opinions are my own.
