M.J. Robotham bonds readers to the most relatable spy in Ep. 7 Of My Bookcase Slays

M.J. Robotham cut her teeth writing WWII historical fiction, but her newest release, Mrs. Spy, drops readers into the exciting, vibrant world of London, 1962. The Beatles, Mary Quant, and psychedelic patterns are all the rage, but the Cold War is still brewing, which means MI5 is working hard to keep the world safe. Maggie Flynn’s a Watcher, also a widow and a mum. We discuss the inspiration for putting women dead center in spy fiction, how she got the details so accurate, why the 60’s, and what makes Maggie’s sidekick Frank a particularly endearing character.
