i mostly enjoyed this novel... though i did it a bit of a disservice reading it in my current state. my concentration and focus have not been great and i found the non-linear timeline–which i am usually totally fine with–a bit clunky for my brain. but that is my fault, not at all anything to do with the author or story!! knecht is a good writer and this was a compellingly different approach to the noir genre.

3.5/5.0 - Like too many books I read, this is book 1 and I have already read the second book. It was interesting to learn more about her back story, how she became CIA. The book takes place in the 1960s, and alternates between her late teen years in NYC (40%) and her CIA assignment in Argentina (60%). It was well written and the pace of the novel kept my interest. I would read further adventures of Vera Kelly in the future.
