The Unexpected Spy: From the CIA to the FBI, My Secret Life Taking Down Some of the World's Most Notorious Terrorists by Devon Sorvari, Jessica Anya Blau, Tracy Walder
5.0
Thank you to Netgalley for a free digital copy and St. Martin's Press for sending a free physical copy my way.
When I saw this book when browsing the Netgalley selections I immediately had to request it. As a life long Nancy Drew fan, I always dreamt of being a spy, and a girly girl spy is right up my alley! This book did not disappoint. I felt like Tracy gave a solid overview of her life as it relates to her time in the CIA and FBI without going too in-depth to be boring. I was so intrigued by career path and how she played a large part in keeping our country safe, especially post 9-11. I even found the redacted parts of the book intriguing. I was at first worried they would take away from the story, but I think in fact they added to it. If you want to read about a strong woman, this is a book you should pick up. I know I will be passing around my copy to family and friends.
