American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson

4.0

---

I loved the journal format of this book as a love letter to the spy's children, and the audiobook narrator was excellent. However, the book lacked the urgency most spy novels seem to have. It read more like a historical accounting of the 1980s interactions of the IS intelligence against an African dictator. I found it interesting, but felt no urgency to untangle the "mystery". Still, it was a good read.
