Tom Rachman’s offbeat but tender Kindle Single, "The Bathtub Spy," tells the tale of globetrotting teacher-turned-“cubicle monkey” Paul Tregwynt and his boss, Wayne. Wayne is a “bumbler” and “a show-off” who spends his days playing Solitaire on his computer, assaulting underlings with a chewed-up Nerf football, and probably watching Office Space with a notepad in hand. This wouldn’t be so alarming if his responsibilities didn’t include overseeing translators--like Paul--who monitor wiretaps for an intel agency in D.C. There’s more to this miscreant “manager” than meets the eye, however, and much to Paul’s (initial) annoyance, he and Wayne have more in common than he’d like to admit. Tom Rachman has already proven to be one to watch with the release of his acclaimed debut novel, The Imperfectionists. I spy another winner in this Kindle Single. --Erin Kodicek
