Looking for a thrilling and humorous cozy mystery? Look no further than "Secret Agent Granny," the first book in a cozy series by 3x USA TODAY Bestselling Author Harper Lin.
Join retired CIA agent Barbara Gold as she trades in her spy gadgets for a quieter life in Cheerville, a quaint small town in New England. When a man is poisoned during a book club meeting for seniors, Barbara's boredom is replaced with excitement to solve this dangerous case. Who would want this sweet old man dead?
It's only a matter of time before his death is declared murder and the police start hounding everyone. Even though she is no longer undercover, Barbara feels as if she's only playing the part of a sweet grandmother, but this may just be her most useful cover yet.
As the clock ticks, Barbara uses her CIA training to investigate who in the Cheerville Active Readers' Society could be the killer. Suddenly Barbara's CIA training is useful again, and Cheerville is starting to seem not so dull after all…
Find out what happens in this action-packed first book, filled with humor, mystery, and a butt-kicking granny who proves that age is just a number.
Customer Reviews
Granny’s got a gun
Bored and retired Barbara Gold just isn’t settling down. Puffer fish poison and leftover cake are cures for her boredom.
New to Lin
Granny’s got a gun is appropriate when extremely light reading is needed.
The crux of the plot ie the reason for the murder is so thin that Lin should be embarrassed. Surely she can think of a more substantial reason for murder of someone you love.
The quality of writing is suitable for a young teenager if they don’t mind excessive repetition. Over and over we are reminded that Barbara was a CIA agent and skilled in many fields of survival training. And that she is 70. If you remove all references to those 2 facts, there won’t be many pages left in the book.
So: it’s a very light book but I think reading another in the series would be akin to the famous “Chinese water torture”.
