Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I was immediately drawn into 'Once a Spy' by Beverley A. Crick's engaging narration. She masterfully differentiates characters, making each voice distinct and authentic. Putney's storytelling is a treat, with a plot that twists and turns, keeping me on the edge of my seat. The romance is sweet and steamy, but it's the political intrigue that really sets this book apart. My only critique is that sometimes the pacing feels a bit slow, but it's a small price to pay for the richly drawn characters and intricate plot. Overall, 'Once a Spy' is a fantastic choice for listeners who enjoy historical fiction with a dash of romance and a healthy dose of suspense.
