A surprise ending with lots of loose ends has me looking forward to the next episode in the life of Sally Sin. An enjoyable read with uncomplicated characters makes this book a fun read for busy people who read in short spurts of time.

Lucy Hamilton, a suburban stay-at-home mom who wants to stay that way, was once a spy called Sally Sin. Unfortunately for her, her former agency needs her help to lure her old nemesis out, and they won't take "No" for an answer. This very funny novel has all the earmarks of the first of a series, and I look forward to the next installment of the adventures of Sally Sin.

This story about the life of a former spy is humorous and engaging, but at times the story is not fleshed out enough to suspend belief.

Lucy Hamilton aka Sally Sin is building a new life as a suburban wife and mother after falling in love and leaving her old job as a spy. No one in her new life knows about her old life and this creates some interesting scenes. As she builds her new life, characters from her old life with the USAWMD agency keep popping up in her new life with laugh out loud results. A scene with a yoga instructor is priceless ! She proves that old habits die hard, if only catching the bad guys were this much fun. The story is quick and fun. Move over Stephanie Plum there's a new gal in town. I am looking forward to more sin, Sally style of course !

This book, in the tradition of humorous thriller, is a fun introduction to the life of Sally Sin. Most of this book focuses on Sally trying to avoid her previous life as a spy and getting drawn back into that life, while trying to protect her family. The story is easy to follow and sets the stage for future novels featuring Sally as a stay at home mom and spy. Humor is found in all aspects of Sally's life, and the author left me wanting to hear more from Sally!

Loved this quick read and can't wait for future installments about Sally Sin -- A California style mother/housewife/spy!

I wasn’t expecting to like this book very much. The shocking pink cover screamed “chick lit.” At first I thought Ms. McMullen was trying too hard to be funny/cute. The premise of the book – a former undercover agent who has been a stay at home wife/mother for nine years is pulled back into the world of espionage did quickly lure me in.

Once I got into the book I really did enjoy it! Ms. McMullen is an excellent writer. She makes the transitions from "Sally’s" current life to her past seamlessly. There is no problem for the reader to follow the story. It is a fast read, perfect for vacation, plane or beach reading. Not particularly suited for a book club, but lots of fun.

Would I read any sequels? Possibly titled "Venial Sin", "Mortal Sin" or "Deadly Sin"? Probably. However, I would love for her to write something a little more weighty to showcase her talent. I am really looking forward to reading more books by this writer.

On Tuesday we had 14 inches of snow on the ground and I had a virus..the sofa and a book were in order. "Original Sin" was the perfect choice. A fun book with an interesting twist, it helped restore my good humor. Now for snow and in July for the beach, this is a good book to have.
