"I’ve read a lot of books I liked, but it’s been a long time since I’ve read a new author I’d not heard of before, that totally captivated me from the very first paragraph. The writing is smooth and flowing; the descriptions just right, never too much or unable to be visualized. Just the right touches of flair and panache to impress an image on your mind before the dialogue and actions swiftly continue onward as the plot progresses.
The character, Valentina Maltseva? I fell in love with her intelligence, ingenuity and strength. She was very feminine and soft yet tough in that way Russian women can have, which drives a man wild with desire. I thoroughly enjoyed every page.
I can certainly see why “KGB in High Heels” was a best seller with over 600,000 sales in Russia and Israel, as well as made into a popular mini-series. This an excellently translated English version should gain her a strong following with a new set of readers who love spy dramas told in a clever, knowledgeable voice. Fast-paced and thrilling, I had no hesitancy whatsoever rating this 5 Stars. I would have applauded and given it more if I coul. Valentina Maltseva is my hero."

Whoever did the translation did a marvelous job. I couldn't find any indication that the book wasn't written in English from the start.
During the old Cold War, the heroin, Valentina,is "recruited" by her lover, a KGB agent, along with Yuri Andropov, the head of the KGB, to run an errand in Argentina. Now, Valentina is only an arts and literature reporter, so what does she know about spies and spying?
And that's the fuel behind the story. Poor Valentina is catapulted into the dangerous and strange world of espionage. Of course, nothing goes down the way it is supposed to and her curiosity gets her into more trouble to boot.
The story is full of twists and turns with a new surprise around every corner. Plots within plots and a number of people who would like to see her dead and out of the way.
No wonder the original story sold so well.
