Kirkus
“In Goldsmith’s suspense novel, a young woman is recruited to be a spy....Nicollette accepts the position. She weathers an extensive orientation process, training to join an all-female group of spies. Thus she begins a James Bond–esque adventure traveling Europe and learning the job as she goes. She is ultimately pulled into a Cold War plot involving a plan to overthrow the Communist government in Bulgaria. She later works on an assignment in the Middle East in which a few of her friends end up in danger....Nicollette is an intriguing protagonist....A slow spy novel with a capable lead.”
