Wow, this book is nothing like I thought it'd be. It's told in vignettes, changing between Mata Hari in prison and her life before she got there. I honestly couldn't get much out of the story. There was almost nothing about spying in there and a whole lot of men desiring Mata Hari.
There were times I enjoyed what I was reading but I was mostly confused about what this book was trying to convey to me. The ending was bittersweet though and I liked that a lot.
Except for me not understanding what was going on for the first half, Murphy's writing style was not the problem here. I pretty much enjoyed the way she wrote the story and I'd read more from her.
