Perfect for you if...

You enjoy older protagonists who bring experience and humour to their unlikely adventures, not just youthful action heroes.
You like cosy mysteries with real stakes and international settings that feel like armchair travel without the crime drama getting too dark.
You appreciate spy stories that don't take themselves too seriously and feature smart women outsmarting people with actual training.

Maybe not for you if...

You want high-octane action sequences and tactical espionage with military precision rather than charm and wit.
You prefer protagonists in their twenties or thirties navigating their first big break in a glamorous field.
You're looking for gritty, morally grey characters rather than someone who brings their cat-loving humanity to the spy game.

About this book

Evelyn Chambers is a retired nurse, devoted cat mom, and widow living a quiet life. When a chance encounter at a Virginia café reveals a connection between her late husband and a mysterious antiques dealer, Evelyn discovers secrets she never knew existed. She receives an unexpected offer from the CIA—a job she feels unqualified for. Without weapons training, she accepts and travels to Paris on her first mission to find answers. As the past emerges, Evelyn learns that international intrigue carries real danger, and some secrets are worth killing for. This is the first book in the Evelyn Chambers Senior Spy Series, following Evelyn on international adventures as she begins a second career in espionage after retirement.
