Happy Thursday! Today I have a review of The Moroccan Girl by Charles Cumming, which publishes on February 12, 2019 via St. Martin’s Press!
My Thoughts:
Kit Carradine is a famous author of best-selling novels when he is approached by MI6 to complete a simple mission for his country as he attends a festival in Morocco.
Kit’s mission doesn’t end there, and he ends up trailing Lara Bartok, a member of the Resurrection, a violent group of revolutionists. Kit finds himself at a crossroads where he can either save Lara or turn her over to the intelligence community.
The Moroccan Girl is an engaging spy thriller. The Moroccan setting and visiting Casablanca and Marrakech added so much interest. Kit is a spy novelist turned spy thanks to helping his country, and what follows is an entertaining and engrossing adventure.
Overall, The Moroccan Girl felt like an action adventure movie with a touch of romance and the tension never lets go. The ending is worth every bit of the wait. I had fun reading this and could envision it as a blockbuster movie!
Thank you to the publisher for the complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
Synopsis:
