See my latest 5-star review for A SPY AT HOME on Amazon! "Thrilling, Heart Wrenching, Suspense Adventure!, August 21, 2011 By Tom McGee "Tom" (Springfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) This review is from: A SPY AT HOME (Kindle Edition) Joseph Rinaldo contacted me not long ago and asked me if I would be willing to read and review his book, A Spy at Home. I received the manuscript and began reading it yesterday. I had to force myself to put it down last night in favor of sleep; however, I thought about it all night long and jumped up early this morning and finished it before breakfast. Rinaldo knows how to grab and keep readers interested on a variety of levels. Although he kept me on the edge of my chair rapidly flipping dangerously exciting pages that included agencies like the CIA, FBI, NSA, a District Attorney's Office, as well as cyber hackers, this book is not a typical spy novel. It is also a love story that deals with death, adoption and the heart wrenching affects of Down syndrome and Alzheimer's. Following a severe reaction to a bites from a swarm of mosquitoes, Garrison, a CIA operative, is treated in a secret CIA hospital by his future wife, Louisa. Some years after their marriage, they notice a fire in a trailers house near their home occupied by a drug addict mother who died in the fire. Her Down's syndrome baby, Noah Kendrick, survived. With the help of red tape cutting, Clarita Johnson, from the state adoption agency Garrison and Louisa adopted Noah after he was abondoned by his low-life relatives. With Garrison away on dangerous CIA missions, Louisa was Noah's primary care taker until Garrison retired from the CIA after 20 years service. Undetected, Garrison stole and diverted to Swiss Bank Accounts, nearly all of 10 million CIA dollars intended for use by African rebels on a mission to dispose of a dictator not friendly with the United States. Pressure mounts as Garrison's focus on CIA missions diminshes as he stuggles with his son's dehabilitating condition, fears he or his family will be killed by hit men and worries about what to do with the loot without getting caught. The story is told by Garrison, to be released following his death. I recommend this novel to those who enjoy fast moving and thrilling suspense adventures. I can hardly believe this book costs less than two dollars as a Kindle download! This was my first exposure to Joseph Rinaldo, but it will not be my last. I look forward to the next episode of this haunting story. Enjoy!"

Here we go, just asked this question. It would be nice if there was a section link for authors as well as members.

Wondering if BookSpy is open to suggestions for new features on the website?

I updated the 'Suggestions based on friend's interest' to be a bit more lenient, hopefully allowing a greater variety of suggestions to reach everyone!
