Reviews
One of People Magazine's Best Books of Fall 2019

"Gripping...reads like a true-life thriller."
--San Francisco Chronicle

"Genius... Fascinating...along with the cloak-and-dagger action, Fox writes movingly of trying to reconcile a career in espionage with family life... A look inside the CIA that the agency isn't ready for you to see... a great read."
--Washington Post

"Gripping...Life Undercover sets aside high-octane street chases and gunfights for an equally riveting narrative of compassion, revealing that the path to peace is through understanding the common humanity in us all."
--Paste Magazine

"A riveting account of the decade the author spent risking her life in the CIA's most clandestine unit."
--People

"a timely, compelling story. As fellow citizens, we'd all do well to better understand what that vital work entails."
--LA Times

"Gripping... Fox masterfully conveys the exhilaration and loneliness of life undercover, and her memoir reads like a great espionage novel."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Extraordinary... [A] remarkable life...Fox engagingly--and transparently--describes her work as an undercover agent for the CIA."
--Kirkus Reviews
