American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson
3.0

Loved the first half of this book, then it fell flat for me. Unlike some other reviewers, I enjoyed the narrative voice - Wilkinson went for self-assured, self-knowing clarity, and it felt vivid and believable. It especially went to good use on the topic of being a black woman, both in general in the white man's world, and in particular the very specific white man's world of the FBI. Unfortunately, the actual spy stuff in the second half seemed full of holes. But overall enjoyable, and I'll still read her next book.
