If I were writing my own spy-thriller



By Dawson Johnson 

While reading American Spy, Marie’s brief mention of Sharon Scranage and her own eventual involvement in a honeypot were two aspects of the plot that were especially interesting to me. If I were writing my own spy-thriller, I’d probably begin in medias res, highlighting a more intimate moment between the relationship between the spy and her target. Because readers would (hopefully) assume the two were an authentic couple, this scene would speak highly of her competence as an agent.

Yes! Very imaginative & clever. I'm certain your revision would grab my attention from the get-go.
