"We all have our turn in the end," I said....
She took a deep breath. "Well, I suppose if we die tonight, I'm okay with it. I've had a good life, you know. I was married to Kenneth for over thirty years. Eighteen of them were really happy. That's not so bad."
"What happened to the other twelve?"
"Erectile dysfunction and his abortive attempt to breed Weimaraners."
pickThis series really is a lot of fun and the manga made me laugh out loud several times. Of course, I worried about the cute German Shepherd Dog, but Pooch also gets a Happy End 🐶 The bonus comic is just as cute. Can't wait for more adventures with Anya and Bond.

Solid, well written spy story from the Cold War. Characters are nicely wrought, and the story moves along smartly, especially in the last third of the tale.

pickI'm still in love with Anya and her attempts to befriend that kid, because her expressions are priceless. Yuri is still being weirdly creepy and I hope they talk about that at some point in the series because it's a bit worrisome as I'm cheering on Twilight. Which talking about, the new character of Fiona, is throwing an odd wrench into the current setup but let's see where that goes before I make up my mind.
pickA fairly standard police procedural but set in 2051: near future yet not disappearing into dystopia. Very readable, the near future element entirely realistic and scary, the “figuring out the crime/scare vibes” just what I wanted.
