Mr. Churchill's Secretary, Princess Elizabeth's Spy
Synopsis: World War II has finally come home to Britain, but it takes more than nightly air raids to rattle intrepid spy and expert code breaker Maggie Hope. After serving as a secret agent to protect Princess Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, Maggie is now an elite member of the Special Operations Executive—a black ops organization designed to aid the British effort abroad—and her first assignment sends her straight into Nazi-controlled Berlin, the very heart of the German war machine. Relying on her quick wit and keen instincts, Maggie infiltrates the highest level of Berlin society, gathering information to pass on to London headquarters. But the secrets she unveils will expose a darker, more dangerous side of the war—and of her own past. - From the back cover
My Thoughts
As a third installment of the Maggie Hope Mystery series, I was excited to find this novel was just as intriguing, action-packed, and endearing as the first two. At this point in the series, it is important to have read the previous novels because this resolves some plotlines begun in the earlier books.
This novel is a little less light-hearted than the first two, continuing during WWII, but highlighting "Operation Compassionate Death," where Hitler approved the murder of children with developmental disabilities, chronic diseases, or who had one Jewish parent. In addition to that depressing topic, Maggie has to deal with the ramifications of being undercover and some of her hopeful ignorance/innocence is lost.
If you have read the first two in the series, this one will not disappoint. If this sounds like something you might like to read, check out the first novel Mr. Churchill's Secretary to catch up on how Maggie became an undercover spy!
