American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson
3.0

Fred borrowed this from the Library because he saw somewhere that Barack Obama had it on his list. I wound up reading it before Fred (as he was knee deep in a history of the Hudson River towns.)

Many things appealed to me about American Spy. It is written by a woman, and I don't often see spy books written by women. It is fairly current in terms of the groups and locales where the story takes place. The spy lives in Manhattan, which is 25 miles south of where I live. And then there is the story.

The story is written as journal entries, and I found myself "getting to know" the writer. I am hesitant to say more lest I share something that someone reading this might prefer not to know. Suffice it to say, I quite enjoyed the journal entries and have a feeling there might be another book in the works, and that's all I'll say!
