The Stewardess with a License to Kill is Back Katy Touchfeather is a fun-loving, British spy with a cheeky attitude and lethal skills who travels the world as a stewardess. Her latest assignment is to bring down what appears to be a gold smuggling operation...but is something far worse. It's a globetrotting, espionage adventure that takes her from London to a lavish yacht on the high-seas, from the jungles of Africa to the beaches of the Bahamas, and that pits her against one of richest men on earth and a deadly torturess who loves to extract information in agonizingly creative ways...and can't wait to try them all on Katy. Praise for the Touchfeather Thrillers"Bubbly, irrepressible... drawn by her breezy, chatty first-person narrative, readers will cheer Katy on as she skates around with flamboyant grace." Publishers Weekly"Freshness and humor are rare qualities in a thriller nowadays. They're here in plenty. Exhilarating verve and expertise. It's a winner " Irish Times"A clever, high-spirited story that ends with murder of exceptional ingenuity and panache." Times Literary Supplement (London)"Nancy Drew superhormone-genized."

This was also the era of the sexy spy with James Bond, The Saint, The Barron, I Spy, The Avengers, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Sentimental Agent, and the comic spies Maxwell Smart, The President's Analyst, and many others. There were female spies Honor Blackman (The Avengers 1962-64) and Emma Peele (The Avengers 1965-68 which were broadcast in the USA), and several of the Bond girls.
Jimmy Sangster joined these themes in two books: Touchfeather (1968), and Touchfeather, Too (1970) which have been reissued by Brash Books.
Katherine Touchfeather is a beautiful, sexy and sexual woman who works as an air hostess, mostly for BOAC. She has a part-time job, though, as an agent for a secret organization run by the mysterious Mr. Blaser. When she is needed Mr Blaser sends her a flight assignment and the correct uniform for any airline Katy is supposed to be working for. She proceeds to snoop, and spy, and occasionally sleep with or kill whoever Mr. Blaster says. The sex part is her own choice, she is not a Sparrow (ref Red Sparrow 2013, 2017).
So these books were written in a particular era and in a particular style. They have been reissued intact. If all of this freewheeling sex and silly spying offends you, don't pick up the books.
I received review copies of "Touchfeather" and "Touchfeather, Too" by Jimmy Sangster (Brash) directly from the publisher. ( )
