What readers say
A newer series blending cozy mystery with a retro spy-thriller flavor, it is praised for twisty plotting, British humor, a mysterious lead pair and a brisk pace once it gets going, and many readers plan to continue. Common complaints are a slow opening, plots that grow overcomplicated or implausible, repetitive stakes and flat characters. Some reviewers also suspect machine-written text and say it is not especially cozy. Opinion has stayed mostly positive from late 2025 into 2026, with a few sharper critical reviews in between.
Best for: Readers who like a cozy with espionage twists and a 1960s spy-show feel, and who will give a slow start time.
