Publisher Description

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a former CIA agent turned Girl Scout troop leader and a laugh-out-loud mystery!

Merry Wrath’s summer plans didn’t originally include an unexpected visit from her old friend, Hilly—a quirky CIA assassin who’s been forced by HR to take her first vacation in…forever. The fact that Hilly chose a small town in Iowa for vacation doesn’t bother Merry or her scout troop (especially since Hilly’s teaching them how to kill a man with one punch), but her former handler, Riley, believes something sinister is afoot.

After all Lana, Merry’s arch-nemesis, is sighted all over town, and when a Chinese operative ends up murdered in her backyard, Merry starts to wonder if Riley is right and Hilly is secretly on the job. It doesn’t help that a group of cosplaying teenage druids have targeted Merry for a misguided ritual sacrifice, or that Medea Jones, cub reporter, constantly harasses Merry, seeing the former spy as her Pulitzer Prize winning vehicle out of Who’s There, Iowa.

Merry wonders if her strange friend really is on vacation, or if she's after another target? Is it Lana? Was it the Chinese operative? Or is it Merry Wrath?

The CIA does not have assassins

Former CIA agent Merry Wrath has CIA friends and enemies popping up all over the place. The newest visitor to her small town is a vacationing CIA assassin, Hilly, who she used to work with (the CIA doesn’t have assassins). But Merry isn’t sure if Hilly is there for vacation like she says or for a job. Could Merry be the target?

The Merry Wrath series is one of my top favorites. Leslie Langtry does such a great job of infusing humor into her mysteries. I love when a book makes me laugh out loud. And every one of hers does! You really need to read all of them!
