First and most importantly, I did enjoy the book. The stories were well written and enticing, never boring.The story is about Cathy, a spy who has secret missions (and that's all you'll ever know about those) who is also a VP of a high end hotel chain. Mostly, you'll read about her travels to many different locations and the issues she handles through her day job. Don't get me wrong, the stories are very enjoyable and the book is very readable.Each location starts with a date (ex: Kathmandu July 2007) few paragraphs of history about that particular location. The first few paragraphs of each location lend nothing at all to the story itself, it just gives the reader a brief glimpse into each location. Honestly, after the first few, I found myself just skimming over the first few paragraphs until the story really began again. And after awhile, I found myself wondering what the heck was happening in between all these time stamped stories.Cathy receives a secret envelope containing her "mission" but it's never revealed what the mission entails and it's just left for assumption that the mission was completed successfully. The only exception is her last mission, which involves murder. And that comes at the very end of the book, and leaves more questions than answers.I won't reveal those questions here lest I ruin the story for you. I do recommend the book, as the stories were really quite enjoyable.
