Review of 'Who Is Vera Kelly?' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

3.5 stars. I'm not really into spy novels, so I enjoyed the chapters about her childhood/backstory better than the chapters centered around spying. But Knecht did a great job creating place, so even the spy chapters were good in the sense that they provided an armchair vacation to Argentina. I'll probably check out the second book in the series because I find PIs more compelling than spies.
