Main Topics of Discussion: Thrillers, spy novels, Undercover Spy Work, Plot

Our favorite quote: "It would be malpractice not to exploit his weakness to find out what the Russians were planning."

Notes: Overall, we enjoyed reading this book. We liked the main character and the story. We did think the plot had a few holes and inconsistencies. It was also devoid of any interesting twists and had an anticlimactic ending. So, it could have been better. We could tell this was part of a series, but the author did bring us up to speed - since we had not read the first two books in the series. But we enjoyed the reading experience enough that we would read more in the series. It was good, but not great. 

Memorable Meeting Moments: Christina took us to a fun, new (to us) restaurant in Celina. We had our meeting back at her house for the rest of the evening. It was unseasonably cold!

What We Ate: We had gnocchi, lasagna, brisket tacos, hot pimento cheese dip, chocolate cake and key lime pie.
