Status Updates From Travis Delaney - Was gescha...

- When I added this to my TBR a few months ago before I started rewatching Spooks last week and even when I picked this up I had no idea the mystery was spy-related. Now this book has literally mentioned the show Spooks. My mind is kind of blown, what are the chances!
- The Sean Bean “One does not simply walk into Mordor” meme comes to mind when the parents were just going to casually drive to Thames House.

- I’ve been super into British spies lately, specifically MI5. I’ve been watching the old tv show Spooks and Slow Horses. So imagine my surprise when we’ve got spooks right here in this book!
- I am loving this mystery, it’s very on-the-ground, in-the-estates type of mystery.
- Either the spooks are the bad guys or there’s more than one party in play here. It’s so twisty already, I love it!

- My first read for the August MG Reading Challenge 2026🎉
- I’m surprised Travis is 13 because he seems older. Personally I wouldn’t have minded if he was 15 or 16, I think it might suit the high stakes investigation more.
- Loving the mystery but the clues seem a little bit too obvious. Even the regular prose I can tell is hinting at the future investigation. Maybe I’m just too well-versed in mysteries…

Gefällt mir bisher ganz gut, der Junge ist sympathisch und neugierig, weiter so 🙂
