Description
A double agent. A double cross. This time, Ingrid is in double trouble.
When Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg discovers an undeveloped roll of film left behind by her predecessor in the FBI, she isn’t sure what to make of the strange photos he took. A map of Scotland, an out-of-print book, a rare bird, a cluster of Post-It notes, an office party… do these images have something to do with crimes he committed as a Russian double agent known as ‘Skylark’?
Ingrid starts digging and becomes convinced that – far from being a traitor – her predecessor was just another victim of the mysterious Skylark who has killed many times to protect his identity. When a case file she has been using is suddenly deleted from the system, Ingrid knows that Skylark is now watching her… and the race is on to find him before she becomes his next victim.
Look Twice is a high-octane spy thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, flipping the pages to find out if Ingrid can survive her most ruthless opponent yet.
Look Twice is the 8th book in the Ingrid Skyberg thriller series, but the novels can be read in any order.

I just couldn't stop reading this book, it's an engrossing story that can very much happen in the spy world. A great plot, extremely well written, and with believable characters, Look Twice is a superb work of fiction that exposes the reality of the supposedly non-existent cold war among countries. The description of how the mysteries are being solved and what could be behind each clue is rather intriguing and the difficulty in believing anyone becomes worse by the second. A very, very good story and truly entertaining!
Ingrid works at a crumbling old embassy building, with an overhead flickering light.that needed be turned off temporarily to help Zeke. Upon replacing the wires she finds a dusty disposable camera giving one secrets of the Cold War. She is one of a kind, aloof, and diligent to get answers once again. A stand alone to enjoy in this good series.
Given ARC by Net Galley and Books go Social.for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
Running for your life with a friend is brutal. Outrunning you best friend is survival. Ingrid had only been a teenager when she and her best friend were running from a killer. She had outrun her friend Megan and now Megan is dead. Guilt still lingers after twenty years. She had only seen a face in the dark and couldn’t identify the killer.
Andy Scott is on trial for killing a number of young women. Could he be the killer? Her mother, Svetlana, is convinced she should know the killer’s face, even after twenty years! He was the potential candidate for Prime Minister and now is on trial for twelve murders. Svetlana calls at the most inopportune times during investigations. An ignored call is a personal affront from a bad daughter.
Being a successful and efficient FBI agent requires a strong support team. The team goes up and down from your position. Ingrid is very well organized but keeps having her effective assistants transferred from her. Administering her position requires her to keep a constant eye on her support staff. Zeke, her newest assistant, is enduring yet another epileptic seizure. Triggers for epileptic seizure can be something as simple as a faulty electrical connection.
An envelope of old photographs found in the ceiling is a clue to the killer. They refer to a person named Skylark! Who is this unidentified Skylark? The hunt for the identity of Skylark takes many twists and turns. Meanwhile, Svetlana gets more irritated by her daughter’s lack of attention to her phone calls. Can the case against Andy Scott be fully investigated in spite of Ingrid’s distractions?
An entertaining novel that will keep you guessing at every turn. 4.5 stars - CE Williams
A great spy story featuring an intelligent, resourceful female operative.
Fast paced thriller that takes you through an extremely believable and disturbing cold war scenario that makes you question everyone's intentions, honesty and loyalty.
I enjoyed this book, an American story taking place in England gives it an interesting slant as the FBI meets the Met. Our central character has many sides to her, and you get the feeling she has lived many lives in previous novels. In this one she uses a jigsaw puzzle of photos to uncover a double agent, all the while taking down a cartel of drug dealers. Delighted to have discovered a new author thanks to this advance reader copy from Netgalley.
This is an entertaining spy story - set in Lindon, lots of plot twists and turns, an engaging heroine battling her personal demons on top of the bad guys, with an atmosphere of paranoid mistrust of her co-workers, any of whom could be the Soviet mole.
The writing is crisp. the plotting is smooth and logical, and the characters are believable human beings. While this is more procedural than shoot-em-up, the action sequences are well executed and take place on a human scale (no superheroic skills from the star, no massive body counts).
All in all, a very solid entry in a fine series.
Special Agent Ingrid Skyberg is working in London and in the dilapidated American Embassy, where due to a flickering light that she finds an old undeveloped film roll which she then has developed.
The photos are a puzzle to her and Ingrid sets about un-solving the puzzle. Ingrid then becomes more convinced that her predecessor may be the victim rather than the double agent that he has been marked as.
The deeper that Ingrid investigates the more strange things start to happen and she knows that she is being watched - but by who?
I couldn't put this book down as I wanted to find out what happened next.
Great read and will be reading more of Eva Hudsons previous novels.
Have now read all the books in the series based on this request. Loved the character and the plots and wish there were more to come.
This was an engrossing read, my first exposure to the series and author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There were enough twists and turns to keep me really interested. The characters worked really well.
I was given a free copy by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own.
