#bookmailmonday but make it on Tuesday. 

Thank you Grove Atlantic Press and author John Lawton for this gifted copy! 

This was on my doorstep when I got home after spending last week at the beach. I had too much catching up to do yesterday and didn’t get a chance to post about it. 

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Charlotte is a British expatriate who has recently settled in the nation’s capital with her second husband, a man who looks intriguingly like Clark Gable, but her enviable dinner parties and soirées aren’t the only things she is planning. Meanwhile, Charlie Leigh-Hunt has been posted to Washington as a replacement for Guy Burgess, last seen disappearing around the corner and into the Soviet Union. Charlie is soon shocked to cross paths with Charlotte, an old flame of his, who, thanks to all her gossipy parties, has a packed pocketbook full of secrets she is eager to share. Two decades or so later, in 1969, Joe Wilderness is stuck on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, held captive by the KGB, a chip in a game way above his pay grade—but his old friends Frank and Eddie are going to try to spring him out of the toughest prison in the world. All roads lead back to Berlin, and to the famous Bridge of Spies…

Sounds like lots of intrigue in the post WWII era! Can’t wait to dive into this one! Espionage thriller lovers mark you calendars. Moscow Exile publishes next Tuesday, April 18th.
