Why read it?
1 author picked The Jaded Spy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is the first in the Jaded Trilogy. It’s set in New Zealand during the 1970s. It’s a twisty plot (which I particularly love) and there are Russian spies.
NZ in the ’70s (mid-Cold War) when nothing was as it seemed and everyone had an agenda, whether it was stealing a painting, growing and distributing weed, or counter surveillance on a Russian diplomat. And things overlapped as they do in New Zealand.
This is a fun exciting book. It reminded me of what the world was like before phones became computers back when everything was analog. As a writer…
From Cat's list on to relive the 70’s if you’re surrounded by spies.
