How could I resist any book that had the seal of the CIA with a pair of hot-red lips superimposed? Claire Berlinski’s Loose Lips is the story of Selena Keller, a Sanskrit scholar who– failing to find a real job– ends up as a CIA case officer. Berlinski makes Selena likable and engaging enough, and the dialogue is pleasing, but the book just sort of meanders along until the end. Speaking of which: the end is terribly ambiguous, and leaves no sense of completion. I don’t know if Berlinski did it on purpose or not, but I was unsatisfied by the loose ends she left flapping in the breeze. Not a bad library read; just don’t expect Vince Flynn or Barry Eisler.
