“Razor-sharp writing, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sturdy plot combine to make Thomson's sequel to Once a Spy a real treat for thriller fans tired of more of the same old same old. Charlie Clark has left his life as an inveterate gambler far behind as he and girlfriend Alice go on the lam in Switzerland from Alice's employer, the NSA, and a special CIA black ops unit known as Cavalry. The real star of the group is Charlie's father, Drummond Clark, who after a career as a CIA agent is sinking into the throes of early Alzheimer's, but who's able, when the occasion demands, to revive his old skills and save their skins. The plot surrounds the sale to terrorists of a small nuclear bomb disguised as a washing machine. The nonstop action and quirky, engaging characters will leave readers eager for the next installment and the next and the next.”—Publishers Weekly  [Starred Review]

Jon Jordan’s review in the CrimeSpree Magazine: “…Thomson really grabbed the corners of the thriller genre blanket and gave it a major shake with his first book. That amazingly fresh feel continues in [Twice a Spy]. I already love good espionage novels, but Thomson has really done something special. He is now on my shortlist of authors I will drop whatever I'm doing to read.”
