I was so excited to get a new Sara Paretsky novel. Then I admit I was disappointed that it wasn’t her usually female private detective tale. Bad Company is a stand alone novel, or the start of a new series, for this bestselling author.
Lily is a retired CIA spy. At seventy, her mind is still sharp but her body is failing. But age doesn’t stop Lily. When someone tries to out her secret past, Lily goes searching for the culprit.
It is hard for me not to compare this more thoughtful and slower paced spy novel to her usually fast paced procedurals. Unfortunately, I really miss V.I. But if you like spy thrillers, Bad Company may scratch that itch. 4 stars!
Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for providing me with an advanced review copy.
