American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson
3.25
informative mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

We Peek into the lens of a mother, who is also a black American spy in this novel. She informs us of her journey of being undervalued at work. Being inspired by her deceased on her sister, our main character, her opportunity in her career by spying on a political figure.
I wanted to love this book. However, although fictional it’s difficult to read the realities of how orchestrated political violence is carried out. 

I wouldn’t call this book a thriller but it’s worth a read.
