MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6: A Second-Chance British Mystery

by Greta Sinclair

She came to Britain to check off a bucket list. She never expected to become part of someone else's last wish.

After years of putting everyone else first, retired American private investigator Maggie MacGregor is finally taking the trip she's dreamed about for exploring Britain's castles, villages, and historic treasures.

The distinguished silver-haired gentleman seated in 4C wasn't part of Maggie's carefully planned itinerary.

Ian Blackwell is charming, quietly witty, and seems to know Britain better than any guidebook. Maggie assumes he's simply another traveler. She has no idea he's spent a lifetime keeping secrets for MI6.

Then celebrated historian Oliver Ashcombe is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message meant only for Maggie.

Suddenly, her dream vacation becomes a dangerous investigation. As Maggie and Ian follow a trail of coded recipes, forgotten journals, and long-buried secrets, they discover Oliver wasn't protecting treasure.

He was protecting history itself.

Now someone will do anything to keep the truth buried.

With danger closing in and an unexpected romance quietly unfolding, Maggie must trust the instincts she thought she'd left behind. But solving Oliver's final mystery may mean risking her heart as well.

Because it's never too late to begin again.

For readers who enjoy Rhys Bowen’s evocative settings and Agatha Christie’s mysteries of hidden motives, this contemporary British mystery blends historical intrigue, travel, and a touch of romance.

The name’s Macgregor ,Maggie Macgregor retired PI as she breathes a sigh up in the sky. No not her plans ,she knows where she’s going ,she’s flying not rowing . Though the guy in the row opposite is making her cheeks glow and he’s certainly ate into those long hours of otherwise solitary boredom as long haul flights tend to be.

She be off to her roots in the uk and eventually from England to Scotland where they say och aye the noo ? Which basically means how are you doing? The man, Ian Blackwell in the opposite aisle made her smile and ponder at more the blue yonder.

She’s astute ,she’s not quite broke the habit of seeing what most don’t ,the part of her ex job that still haunts. She’s still got the tricks of the trade and knows instinctively when mistakes are made or not picked up on.

Ian plays his cards close to his chest and though he does impress ,he doesn’t confess what HIS business is or even was as he’s close to retiring age of course with the grey hair and acting with a typically Wnglish flair and not a care to be had or he’s a good actor egad!

They left the plane the two and made plans to meet exchanged numbers with I’ll ring and a please so. But they keep on chance meeting with the same greeting and so it comes to pass that when she visits an historian by the name of Oliver Pembroke and suddenly a crime has taken place, he’s dead ,and suddenly this retiree is on a case…..

This was a meeting of chance not a dalliance with danger lurking ,but her sudden duty she’ll not be shirking and nor will Ian. So off to Scotland to see what it all does mean and what information they can glean.

Greta Sinclair wins out with another series that has clout. It’s certainly something to shout home about. Without a doubt another HIT SERIES OF MYSTERIES.

This is the first book in an extremely promising series! Maggie MacGregor is a retired PI who can finally take a long dreamed about vacation to England. Little did she know that the handsome, charming English passenger, Ian Blackwell in the plane seat across the aisle from her will be her partner in solving the murder of Oliver Pembroke, a historian. Together, Maggie and Ian of MI6 investigate the murder bringing them to danger. Can they figure it out? Is there a smoldering spark happening between the two? This book is a page turner that hooks you from the beginning while you are trying to guess the outcome. I can't want for the next book in the series! I received an ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

Retired American PI Maggie is finally taking the trip to England that she has dreamed about for years. She hadn't planned on meeting the charming man in the next seat, and she definitely hadn't planned on being drawn into the murder investigation of historian Oliver while she's there. Together with Ian, her dream vacation becomes a dangerous investigation! An engaging mystery and a healthy dose of romance made this a very enjoyable read!

I love this new series, and I love how Greta always give you enough info to see things that she is writing about. Her new character is Maggie (Margaret) MacGregor was a PI I Seattle before she retired and decide to do some of the things on her bucket list. The first thing she is doing is going to Great Britain and see all the wonderful thing that she has read about. But on the plane, there is meet a gentleman from England and they do a lot of talking and he suggest that she should keep her first day open to anything that come up. She must try some English tea and different thing to eat while she is there. Maggie goes for a walk and ends up at a bookstore and start to talk with the owner and she suggest she go to a book signing & talk the next evening. She goes out the next day to Borough Market, and she tries out samples at different stall and finds herself at the end of the Market where Professor Oliver Ashcombe is giving a demonstration in a small open kitchen in the market north end. Maggie watches the demo and listens to the professor talking about the people who recorded the recipes and who was there to eat it. After the show Maggie does more sampling in the market when she hears someone scream and she rush toward that and she finds Professor Oliver on the ground beside the demonstration kitchen, and he dies hold onto Maggie arm with out being able to tell her anything. Well, Maggie just can not let it go and start figure out who would want to murder a professor that everyone seems to love. With Ian Blackwell who was sitting beside her on the plane from Seattle help and the police they keep looking into everything. Someone breaks into Maggie hotel room but does not take anything from there just leaves a note. They seem to keep finding clues that may lead them to who murdered Professor Oliver but first they keep having to test out different things to eat and drink. Maggie still has not seen any of tourist things that are on her list, but she is really enjoying herself with what she is seeing. They keep looking for anything at all to do with what Professor Oliver was working on and they find that someone has remove one of his volumes and know they must find it as well. There are lots of twist and turn like all of her series and I am never bored and I can not put down this book just like I could with any of her series. I can’t wait to see what she has Maggie & Ian doing in the next book.

Greta Sinclair has written plenty of exciting & entertaining books and series. This new book, (in a different genre) has turned out to be a MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN, full of adventure - present day as well as historically! However, don't just take my word for it, check it out for yourself!! To help with that (& in lieu of giving away any clues ) I'm going to share a few of my most favorite quotes &/or sentences!:

Most important & mentioned multiple times: “Every important British decision starts with tea,”


Maggie's friend, Bren said, “Old habits.” “They die harder than murder victims".

Maggie starts this conversation with the man seated next to her on the airplane as they stretch their legs on separate aisles:
“I promise I'm not following you"
“I should hope not.”
“Why?”
“I walk dreadfully slowly.”


Retired investigators apparently analyze pastries with the same rigor as they do crime (Maggie's thoughts).

Maggie asked for her water to be topped with ice. Then Ian said, “You also drown perfectly good beverages in ice, which I've yet to understand.”

Maggie's thoughts as she writes in her journal: Some strangers feel oddly familiar.

Oliver asked Maggie, “What have you enjoyed most so far? And don't say the Tower. Everyone says the Tower.”
“Getting lost, actually, and not rushing to correct it.”

A quote from a 91 year old man to Maggie, regarding a thick ledger the size of a large coffee table book, spine cracked, corners soft:
“A hard drive fails in eleven years. This has not failed in a hundred and ninety.”


Something Maggie read regarding Oliver's thoughts:
History remembers kings. And under it:
I have spent my life looking for the cooks.


Regarding Oliver, Ian tells Maggie:
“He was always right.”
“It was his least attractive quality.”


These are some of my reasons for giving this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and I do suggest highly to give this MAGNIFICENT BOOK a try. Then it will be followed by two more books... Maggie & Ian are now traveling to another country!!

Thank you, Greta, for yet another MAGNIFICENT READ, & for inviting me to your WONDERFUL ARC TEAM, where I truly enjoy participating!!

🙏🏻🤗 💖

[Nancy (The Avid Reader)]

MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6 is an excellent first installment to Greta Sinclair’s new series, the Maggie MacGregor Mystery. The story opens with Maggie MacGregor and Ian Blackwell on a nine-hour flight to Europe. Neither Maggie nor Ian knows at that moment that they will soon be investigating the death of celebrated historian Oliver Pembroke.

Maggie is a retired American private investigator who has come to Europe to fulfill a long-planned bucket list—one filled with Britain's historic treasures, castles, and villages. Ian is charming and subtly sharp, and he seems to know Britain inside and out, having spent a lifetime keeping secrets for MI6. But, of course, Maggie knows none of this at first.

When Oliver is murdered, Maggie and Ian work together to solve the case. Oliver knew something someone obviously wanted to keep quiet—but what was he trying to hide, or perhaps protect?

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6 and loved getting to know Maggie and Ian. I can’t wait for the next books in the series: MacGregor and the Highland Cipher (Book 2, releasing November 3, 2026) and MacGregor and the Last Keeper (Book 3, releasing December 15, 2026). If you are looking for your next captivating mystery, I highly suggest giving this book a try. Trust me, you won’t regret it for a minute. Pick up your copy today!

Maggie MacGregor is finally free. Free from her life as a PI- always looking over her shoulder, always paying attention to details, always taking risks. She has retired.
Now she's free to finally check some things off of her 25-year old bucket list with a month-long trip to the UK and discover the real Maggie MacGregor.
Her lengthy flight is made more pleasant by a silver-haired gentleman in her row on the plane. Ian Blackwell is charming and witty and Maggie finds herself drawn to him.
But, once in London, Maggie finds herself suddenly un-retired and embroiled in the mysterious murder of a famous historian, who leaves behind a cryptic message…
For Maggie.
This was the first book in the Maggie MacGregor Mystery series and, once again, author Greta Sinclair shows us how versatile she is, with a series that is totally different from her others. I loved this book!
The characters are wonderful and Greta’s descriptions of the British Isles make me feel like I'm actually there and not sitting on my couch. With a cup of tea, of course!
I was honored to be on the advanced reader team for this book and I am happy to leave this voluntary review.

[Marguerite · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maggie is free: retired from private investigative work, to do as she pleases. She wants to travel but has become so preoccupied with the minutiae of her schedules, she’s in danger of forgetting to enjoy herself.
On her flight to London, she meets a British man, Ian. In conversation, he suggests she just… leaves an afternoon free — no restrictive schedule.
Maggie is receptive to change, but a series of coincidences means she keeps bumping into Ian. (And we are talking London here: odd, suspicious.)
What unfolds is an historical mystery in which Maggie finds herself right in the middle after going to a book signing by Professor Oliver Ashcombe, the famous historian.
Greta has deployed her inimitable style and humour to this serious mystery, exploring the very fabric of Britain’s historical culture and mores in a fast-growing throwaway society. Nods to current and recent past British culture bring a smile to your face.
Maggie is a delightful, warm-hearted soul and deserves to enjoy her bucket list in retirement.
I am looking forward to the next instalment

[Jeanette Waters · Rating 5 out of 5]

"MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6" is the starter for Greta Sinclair’s new series a Maggie MacGregor Mystery. This book gives us second chance love with older (58y) MC's. No animal friends in sight, but we do get author Sinclair's even pacing, engaging banter and her vivid worldbuilding.
Maggie is 58, divorced, estranged from her children, and world weary. She retires, sells her PI business and attacks her bucket list. It's nine hours between Seattle and London and her seatmate is Ian Blackwell, a charming Englishman. They become friendly and make casual plans to meet up. Except, they continually run into each other. He's there when she meets historian, Oliver Pembroke. And there when she decides to investigate his murder.
Honestly, I wasn't ruling out Ian as a suspect. Despite his M16 status. Or maybe because of it. I did not guess the actual murderer. And I really enjoyed the process.
There are at least two more MacGregor planned (and titled). I'm sure they'll be as fun a read as this one.

[Jeffrey Aitken · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel follows Maggie MacGregor as a trip to Britain brings her into an investigation after the death of Oliver Ashcombe.

The story gives as much space to Maggie’s relationships and travels as it gives to the investigation.

Maggie brings experience as a private investigator to the case, while her retirement gives the story a theme of change.

Her relationship with Ian provides much of the book’s appeal.

Their exchanges build trust, affection, and romance without displacing the mystery.

London, Oxfordshire, and Scotland form part of Maggie’s journey, and the attention given to food, buildings, markets, trains, and customs adds a travel element.

The investigation sometimes depends on meetings and discoveries that arrive when the plot needs them.

Thomas receives an explanation for his actions, although some readers may want more tension before the reveal.

The prose gives Maggie a voice through humour, observation, and reflection.

I recommend the book to readers who enjoy mysteries, travel, research, romance, and protagonists facing a change in life.

MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6 is a thrilling cozy mystery. It’s well thought out and researched. The plot is intriguing and adds a new element to the way you think about history, especially history that includes recipes and dinners, in a way that you never thought of. Maggie is a strong, independent and observant woman. A retired PI who finally addresses her bucket list to go to England. She meets some very unique and interesting people. Get a copy and join her as she spreads her wings and grows in her personal journey. Greta always writes well researched and informative stories. Clean- no gore, smut or foul language, just amazing cozy mysteries that draw you in and make you feel like you’re actually there experiencing it yourself. As an added bonus, there is a recipe included, which I absolutely love. I highly recommend that you grab a copy for yourself, you won’t regret it and then see you in Scotland.

Retired PI Maggie MacGregor was finally checking off the first item of her bucket list. Prepared with a laminated Tube map, and a color-coded book of places to visit she had everything planned down to the tea, literally. Her seat mate on the flight over, Ian Blackwell, encouraged her to be more spontaneous. Oddly, Ian kept showing up everywhere she went. Spontaneity is how she met Professor Oliver Ashcombe and his intriguing culinary book. But plans can go awry when Ashcombe drops dead in front of her and Ian Blackwell is near by.

As a 55+ retiree with aspirations of traveling the world I relate with Maggie down to the carefully planned itinerary. Greta Sinclair’s characters have encouraged me to step away from tourist attractions and look at the world around me. It’s the unplanned adventures that make you face yourself, expand your world, and take you on the best journeys. Sinclair continues to be one of my favorite authors and I’m excited to go with her on this new journey.

This is a great start to the Maggie MacGregor Mystery series! Maggie’s a retired private investigator & finally got a plane so she could go to England & Scotland to explore the castles & countrysides as part of her bucket list. We’ve been to England a dozen times to visit family, so I smiled as I recalled fond memories of our trips as I read where Maggie went. And I enjoyed my cuppa tea with an even bigger smile as I read, “Every important British decision starts with tea.” The author shared a recipe at the end of the book for Lemon Drizzle Cake & it was quite tasty. I’ve enjoyed several books by this author in two of her other book series & am so glad I found this one in a third series with British humor. Greta Sinclair does not disappoint! I look forward to seeing what Maggie gets into in the next book, MacGregor & the Highland Cipher. I received this cozy mystery as an ARC from Book Sprout & this is my review.

Retired American private investigator Maggie MacGregor is finally embarking on her long-awaited dream trip to England. However, her peaceful getaway takes an unexpected turn when she meets Ian Blackwell—a charming, handsome passenger seated across the aisle who turns out to be an MI6 agent. After historian Oliver Pembroke is killed, Maggie finds herself drawn into a high-stakes murder investigation alongside Ian. As they pursue the truth, danger mounts, leaving readers wondering if they can solve the case—and if the smouldering spark between them will ignite.
Combining an engaging mystery with a satisfying dash of romance, this page-turning debut sets up an extraordinarily promising new series. It hooks you from the very first page as you try to piece together the outcome, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next instalment!

Just WOW. Appreciated all the details, history and culture. This is a very in-depth story where a food historian, a crossed out agenda and the mystery.
Maggie just retired, and is trying to mark off her bucket list from ages back. She ends up marking off her plans and just winging it, never knowing it was planned for her. She was a very good PI. Now she will still act as a PI, but without the pay, but with the incentive as only her curious mind will guide her. And all the notes from the deceased Oliver she receives to push her on to investigate. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
"You find people by finding who was kind to them. Nobody vanishes from everybody. Somebody fed them."
"Be careful. Be curious. Eat something wonderful."
Excellent beginning to an upcoming series. Can't wait for the next installment.

MacGregor and the Secrets of MI6 is a different story from the usual cozy mysteries that I read written by Greta Sinclair. Still has her usual easy reading style with attention to details and plot. Maggie MacGregor has retired as an American private investigator now taking a vacation trip to Britain. You can take the sleuthing from the PI, but you can’t stop the former PI from observing and investigating. Thanks to meeting Ian Blackwell, she can use all her skills once again. A fun cozy mystery read without the animals that has marked this author’s stories as delightful. However, a handsome silver-haired gentleman who has sleuthing skills of his own is a wonderful addition to the story. The fact that he attaches himself to Maggie from the beginning of the flight to Britain may be an extra touch of fantasy that will have us all dreaming of happening. 4.5 Stars

MacGregor and MI6
Maggie MacGregor is a retired American PI on the bucket list trip of her life. Her itinerary is colour coded and check listed. This is it. But she soon learns lists are made to be changed. It starts with her secretive seat mate Ian Blackwell. He shows her another side of London that most tourists don’t see or notice. Then she meets Oliver Penbroke and is there when he dies. As a retired PI Maggie is used to observing and realizes that not everything is as it seems. She teams up with Ian to help the police find out what happened to Oliver. I really enjoyed reading this book. All the characters are unique and interesting as is the mystery. Right until the end, I had no idea who had killed Oliver.

A life changing trip.
Maggie MacGregor is divorced, a retired P.I. and ready to try something new. The something is a bucket list trip to England. A meticulous planner, she has everything scheduled until she meets seatmate Ian Blackwell on the plane. He suggests several spur of the moment excursions that turn out to be just what Maggie needs. When she meets Oliver Pembroke and he dies shortly later Maggie's investigative nature kicks in. A fine read with quite interesting characters and a fine plot line. Also the descriptions of people and places make for a very good book. I look forward to more from Maggie.
A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.

It was good!

Goes along nicely with the feel of L.B. Dayton’s Kat Calloway mysteries.

I knew it (concerning the culprit…!)

I almost thought that Ian was saying “I thought that part of my life was finished” in response to Maggie saying that he’s a good man 😂

Getting to know someone after they died ♥️

It’s amazing when you begin to realize that you were put somewhere for a reason ♥️

And is intellectual freedom socialist? That is quite the question…
If it is, then I guess I sometimes believe in socialism…
(Google says it’s more a marker of democracy, though, not state control.)

Loved this story! Maggie Macgregor went to England because it was something that she had on her bucket list for a very long time. She had gotten divorced, opened a business, ran it for 25 years, and sold it and her 2 sons had no idea. So she decided that she would go to England as a tourist, with laminated maps, and a schedule that was done up to the minute. Then a charming man Ian messed with her carful planning and she started a trip that was nothing like she planned. She ate different foods, went places she wasn't planning to go and meeting people that would change her life! I can not wait for the next installment of Maggie's adventure!

Maggie MacGregor is finally taking her bucket trip vacation to England. She is retired and finally doing something for herself. She has a complete itinerary with every moment accounted for. On the flight, she and her seatmate convers and make a long flight go by quickly. However, he keeps showing up where she is. Then they see someone murdered and the fun really starts. If I could give this 10 stars I would. I loved this book from start to finish. This is Greta Sinclair's best story yet! She brings places to life in her stories and the descriptions are so real, you feel as if you are standing there with Maggie.

I got a good thrill out of this one! While I was never a huge James Bond fan, I have really enjoyed this books and the characters in it. Maggie MacGregor is certainly a worthy main character to follow, since she's both intelligent and catches onto details others overlook. Ian Blackwell is certainly a charmer, and a great 'ex-spy' to have at her side. I only wish we could have gotten to know Oliver Ashcombe more before he was murdered, since he seemed like a really sweet and interesting man. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!.

Maggie sells her PI business and goes on a vacation to England. On route she meets Ian and throughout the story she keeps meeting up with him. She also meets Oliver, he is a historian who works with menus and things that happened in a household. I will never again look at the kitchen staff and housekeeping in the same way again. History has a different meaning here. Oliver is murdered and Maggie and Ian help solve it. I liked the ending when her son calls her. This was a good read that I would recommend reading it.

This is the first book of what I hope is going to be a series. Maggie is a retired PI who’s decided to get one thing off of her bucket list and that is a trip to Britain to explore the sites. What she hadn’t counted on was becoming involved in a murder investigation where the victim left messages meant for Maggie alone. This book is different from other books that I have read by Greta in that there’s no furry companions that help her solve the mystery but it is an excellent read and I look forward to reading any more of this series that she may write!
