I'm a big fan of Alma Katsu! This is sure different from her other books, The Taker series, The Hunger, The Deep; and I think that Red Widow is a hit!

I love her writing, from her fantastical The Hunger and The Deep - but this hits home from her long career as a senior intelligence analyst.
If you loved watching The Americans, you'll appreciate this current perspective from a devoted female agent.
Lyndsey uncovers a surprising connection to her colleague Theresa, who's referred to as the 'Red Widow.'
As they becomes friends, Lyndsey exposes a terrifying web of secrets within the department, if only she is willing to unravel it…

A fantastic spy novel that takes a realistic look at the emotional toll of the work. If you never missed "Homeland," you will LOVE Red Widow.

So looking forward to reading Red Widow. With Katsu's experience in the intelligence community I bet it will be as real feeling as John LaCarre.
