Mini Review: Northern Spy by Flynn Berry
4****
I'm between three and four stars for this one. The story, though somewhat predictable, was entertaining, the characters were well developed and the author crafted a sense of building tension as the story unfolded. The situation in Northern Ireland, past and present, is intriguing and something I was curious to learn more about, so I was excited when I heard about this book. However, I listened to it as an audiobook and I highly recommend not doing this. The narrator's voice was so monotonous, and it just didn't work for me at all. Overall, I liked The Northern Spy well enough, but I imagine I would have liked it better if I'd read it and not listened, which is my own fault, so I'll round up to four stars and leave it at that;-)
