Our Woman in Moscow
by Beatriz Williams
Spy novels, especially in the World War II era, are often clique, predictable and boring. I went into Our Woman in Moscow with that bias and quickly realized author, Beatriz Williams, wrote something that stood out in the crowd.
Iris Digby goes missing with her husband, an American Diplomat, and their children. Four years later, her twin sister Ruth receives a post card asking her to travel to the Soviet Union to help her with the delivery of her fourth child. In walks in intelligence officer Sumner Fox, a man who knows the story of Ruth and Iris as well as themselves.
The story jumps from Iris and Ruth throughout the book and it is important to focus on the timeframes because the years also jump around. I felt this kept the book interesting, but it could also cause some confusion. The story is heavy handed into the romance aspect and less about the actual spying itself, which wasn't a turn off to me.
This was my first Beatriz Williams book and won't be my last.
I received this book for free as part of a book tour. My opinions are my own.
