This is the first in the Sophie Green Mysteries. Sophie, British, young, single and working at a local airport, is asked to become an agent of a secret government agency. A less likely agent you'll never suspect, and yet, she somehow manages to come out (mostly) all right.
I started this story expecting a nice cozy mystery, with a bit of humor. Yikes, was I wrong. There is a little too much swearing, a little too much sex, and a little more gore than you would expect to see in a cozy mystery.
But there is a mystery, and it is filled with humor, from the situations Sophie gets herself into, to her remarks, to the whole concept of Sophie being a secret agent. I started the book, thinking I'd read for 15 or 20 minutes before going to bed. Several hours later I finished the book, and went to bed much later than I had intended.
I only regret that I had this book in my TBR pile since 2011 and never read it. I only read it now because I wanted to get some of my backlog of books read, and this was one that had been in the pile for quite a while.
This counts for my Mt. TBR Reading Challenge.
