graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated A Spy in the House (The Agency, #1) in Books

Feb 15, 2019

In the words of Y. S. Lee:
<blockquote>"Women's choices were grim in those days, even for the clever. If a top secret women's detective agency existed in Victorian England, it left no evidence--just as well, since that would cast serious doubt on its competence. The Agency is a totally unrealistic, completely fictitious antidote to the fate that would otherwise swallow a girl like Mary Quinn."</blockquote>

An easy and interesting read, with an intriguing protagonist in Mary Quinn. The plot and characters easily kept my attention and I look forward to the others in the series.

Watched this movie on Netflix starring Tom Hardy(Mad Max:Fury Road). It takes place entirely in his car on a 90 minute ride. He's made a choice that cost him pretty much his whole life and it all happens during this ride. He really showed his acting chops in this one. Everything happens through a series of phone calls between him and several people in his life. Takes place in England. It's all done pretty well and, though it's an odd piece of work, it keeps your interest. Turns out a little sad but worth a watch.
