A review by jessmed3
Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews

5.0

My first spy novel & I loved it. It's set in modern day with modern political figures (e.g. Putin) -- written by a former CIA agent with 30 years experience, I was pretty fascinated. Seeing how it all could work, I am pretty darned sure these forces are still at play and would be really interested to hear what Matthews thinks the Russians have on 45....loved the characters, especially Nate and his chiefs in Finland, and Domenika was super intriguing as well. I liked her instinct of seeing color while most reviewers found out hokey. It even had a bit of romance thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to the other books in this series.
