Maggie Bird is many things. A chicken farmer. A good neighbour. A seemingly average retiree living in the seaside town of Purity. She's also a darned good rifle shot. And she never talks about her past.

But when an unidentified body is left on Maggie's driveway, she knows it's a calling card from old times. It's been fifteen years since the failed mission that ended her career as a spy, and cost her far more than her job.

Step forward the 'Martini Club' - Maggie's silver-haired book group (to anyone who asks), and a cohort of former spies behind closed doors. With the help of her old friends - and always one step ahead of the persistent local cop - Maggie might still be able to save the life she's built.

The Spy Coast is the first novel in The Martini Club series.

Critic reviews

Powerful, resonant, absorbing, freighted with menace and suspense . . .
Gerritsen is a born storyteller, and this new series showcases her talents more than ever. Irresistible and highly recommended!
I loved it. A hugely entertaining read!

The Spy Coast is a marvellously plotted read with action-packed pages, G-force twists and turns, and a platoon of fascinating characters.
I truly hope to see Maggie Bird and her team of silver-haired helpers on the pages again.
A riveting tale filled with engaging characters. I look forward to the rest of the series.
A nice take on retirement-five old spooks whose bones may ache but whose minds remain sharp. You can expect mystery, action, and bloodshed in this exciting thriller
Compelling reading throughout, with astute characterizations, a fast-moving but understandable spy plot, and lashings of dark humor. Gerritsen fans and readers of Richard Osman’s Thursday Murder Club mysteries will love this
Amusing and exciting . . . Maggie and her grey-haired tribe are more than capable of helming a long-running series
The Spy Coast is The Thursday Murder Club on steroids

The idea of going back and forward in time was good. A cross over spy and love story worked well. However the need for two readers who sounded so alike seemed unnecessary

Good clear story

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. The writing is solid and it left me curious to read more. I love that the protagonist is a woman of a more ripe age. She’s fantastic.
The only HUGE complaint I have is that the accents in this audiobook were some of the worst I have ever heard in my life. The British accents sounded like ‘drunk Australian’ at best. I really struggled with that. If you can’t do an accent properly: don’t do it. It’s distracting. I really hope that particular narrator (I don’t know which one she was) will be replaced in the next novel

Looking forward to the next novel
