Touchfeather by Jimmy Sangster

Jolly and preposterous intrigue.

New York Times

Bubbly, irrepressible... drawn by her breezy, chatty first-person narrative, readers will cheer Katy on as she skates around with flamboyant grace

Publishers Weekly

Freshness and humor are rare qualities in a thriller nowadays. They're here in plenty, and here's richness, pace, fun and a salty wit. Katy Touchfeather, airline hostess and secret service agent on the side, makes wry faces at it all, at the conventions and her blase boss. Sent to track a supposed traitor, she tumbles in and out of beds and situations with exhilarating verve and expertise. It's a winner

The Irish Times

Sangster’s novel may seem like a satire to the uninitiated. But it only takes a few opening pages to realize that it is a genuine spy novel – with a unique, and noticeably unusual female perspective. TOUCHFEATHER presents an entertaining and refreshingly different take on the male-dominated world of spy fiction.

Nancy Drew superhormone-genized.

Kirkus

This book is a true product of the Swinging '60s, and Brash Books is bringing it back into print in January, complete with a trigger warning at the beginning. Times and attitudes have changed that much. Touchfeather's breezy narration carries the story right along, and while she makes mistakes, she's efficient and tough when it counts.

Bill Crider

A clever, high-spirited story that ends with murder of exceptional ingenuity and panache

Times Literary Supplement

These light adventures are quite enjoyable and are spy fiction first and foremost.

Spy Guys & Gals

I'm every bit as smitten with Miss Touchfeather as she herself would naturally expect me to be.

Vault of Evil

Pretty darn fun. Katy Touchfeather is an operative for a secret British organization. Her cover is she’s an air stewardess, and believe me this book is from an era long before the more acceptable terms ‘cabin crew’ or even ‘flight attendant’. Katy is skilled with both her fists and a gun, but her biggest asset is her feminine wiles. She never needs a guy to ride in and rescue her. It would be nice to see Katy fly again.

Teleport City

This abundantly revelatory memoir of an English air stewardess who has an in with Intelligence is a rousing and riotous recital that covers most of the world.
