How I wish

That the author would extend this series further. Of course, I am about to start the third book and may find that Max and Olivia are no longer available for spying.....

I won a copy of this book from Goodreads giveaways. I was not required to give a favorable review. This was a wonderful read. I wish I read the first in the series to understand some of the interaction of some of the characters but this was wonderful. It makes you think about what spies did for the country during WWII and also what they did after to help their country. Now the 2 main characters have gotten older and their children think that don't know what they are doing is something that I think happens when children don't want to take the time to help their parents stay in their homes. Little did they know that his older couple still had a lot of get in their gitty up. I love the story. I hope to read more.

As entertaining as the first novel!

Mark Briggs is one of my new favorite authors. Perhaps because he deals with seniors with humor, reverence and importance. Too often seniors are treated as characters to be “put up with” rarely main protagonists. I found Max and Olivia delightful. I am looking forward to more adventures with them in the future. I highly recommend this book.

Claudia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The adventures of Max & Olivia continue in this thrilling and hilarious sequel. We meet the deadly yet charming assassin Claudia and discover much more about Max & Olivia’s incredible history as secret agents. I especially enjoyed exploring more of Europe with them on the run in fast cars and luxury boats! Read it Sweetie, you’ll love it.

A very good (clean)adventure/love story

This book is very good adventure story about two spies that love each other deeply. It's an uplifting story full of danger, fear, good vs evil, never being too old, never giving up hope, and having ultimate faith in each other. And it has a couple of interesting twists at the very intense conclusion. Very enjoyable!

Max and Olivia Are Still At It!

Two old spies are still at it. Not wanting to die a torturous death in a nursing home, the two take a wild adventure to save England and tackle the Russian mafia. An exciting and fast-paced story that is hard to put down. Can't wait to read their further adventures in book 3!

I really enjoyed this book. It s well written with like able characters. They are well developed and the story keeps moving. It was hard to put down. The comedy from the first book continues with this story. I hope there is a third book. He wrapped up the story but left it open for more.

Not a bad read.

The first book "Operation Underpants" was better. This book seems to be part of a continuing series. I hope the next installment comes soon.

Totally enjoyable

This book is the second in the series. I enjoyed the first so much that I immediately bought the second. Being older myself, it was great reading about an older couple still getting out and carrying on the spy business. I recommend this for an interesting fun read!
