Merit Badge Murder
Author: Leslie Langtry
What does a CIA spy and assassin do when her cover is blown by a villainous politician? She retires with a hefty payout, goes home to Iowa, and becomes.....a Girl Scout Leader.
For Merry Wrath her retirement is taking her a bit to get used to. She's been retired from the CIA for more than a year and still has no furniture or drapes in her house, and doesn't do well with domestic things like remembering to grocery shop. But....she is a good scout leader.
When the body of a dead operative appears tangled in the rope climbing course at the girl scout camp, it seems like a coincidence. But when more bodies of international spies start piling up -- in Iowa of all places -- Merry can't shrug it off as a fluke anymore.
I absolutely loved this book! My job is so busy and stressful....the mix of humor, cozy mystery and zany spy action was so entertaining and just fun to read. I needed this!
Merry Wrath is an intelligent and fun main character. Her best friend Kelly and all the other side characters really added charm and humor to the story. The plot moved along at a nice pace. There was plenty of sleuthing and twists along the way to keep me guessing.
I can't wait to find out what happens to Merry in the next book!
