Gabi

Criminals, Soldiers, Spies…oh my!
As fate brings them together, a spirited thief and a straight-laced Major become unlikely allies in war-time England as they join forces to thwart an attempt to deliver critical documents into the Germans’ hands. Intrigue, murder, and a sprinkling of romance, combined with engaging “good guys” and a handful of suspects, are the perfect ingredients for this entertaining WW2 mystery.

The first in a new series —- I am already eagerly anticipating the next Electra McDonnell series!!!

4.5 stars “light” read (easy straightforward read, not overly graphic violence)
