Two Is a Pattern (audiobook) by Emily Waters
Description
A charged lesbian romantic suspense set in the early nineties, with gripping twists, turns, and surprising secrets.
A mission gone wrong leads to rising-star CIA operative Annie Weaver quitting her job and reinventing herself as a college student. But the CIA, desperate for her skills, refuses to let her go without a price.
Annie finds herself juggling classes in Criminology and falling for her beautiful landlord, Professor Helen Everton, while dealing with off-the-books secret missions for an increasingly controlling ex-boss.
As the perceptive Helen circles ever closer to the truth, Annie has to figure out how to keep her freedom without putting Helen in danger—and without revealing her own past.

I read this for the 2025 Sapphic Book Bingo reading challenge for the prompt Suspenseful Book.
CW: death (past), death of a child (past), violence
I adore Emily Waters and want a billion more books written by her.
Quick Thoughts:
– This started as an AU for a The Closer/Major Crimes fanfic and is crafted so well that you don’t need to know anything about the shows but those of us who are fans catch the Easter Eggs
– Single mother and age gap in this book. I’m noticing a trend in what I read
– Like in her other book, this is only told through one POV which is Annie’s
– It took me a minute to realize it’s set in 1992. Talk about giving me all kinds of flashbacks
– It was fun watching Annie slip so easily into Helen’s family life
– More I learned about Annie’s past, the more I wanted to cover her in bubble wrap and guard her with a baseball bat
– The title doesn’t make sense until the last third of the book and I thought it was pretty darn clever
– Hey Mallory! (from Honey in the Marrow)
– Frank Clifton should have been boiled in a vat of acid
– That ending from when she’s planting the bug to the last page, wow. Just wow. Perfect (though I’m hoping for either a short story or book that continues this book)
– Anastasia Watley is amazing. She does a fantastic job at infusing her voice with amusement, concern, confusion, and all sorts of emotions, on top of that, she simply has a soothing voice
Overall I adored this book. Emily Waters did a superb job in drenching the setting in the early 90s and told a fantastic story to boot. On one hand I’m so very happy I read this, on the other hand I’m sad I did because now I have to wait for the next Emily Waters book. Dang.
