Publisher's summary

The 1920s are off to an intriguing start in USA Today bestselling author Anna Lee Huber's thrilling mystery series featuring former Secret Service agent Verity Kent. For even as a new decade dawns, the shadow of The Great War persists . . .

March 1920: Life has turned unsettlingly quiet for former British Intelligence agent Verity Kent and her husband, Sidney. But even that false calm is about to end. As threats remain, the French authorities soon request Sidney's help with a suspect who claims to have proof of treason—shortly before she is assassinated. And Verity, too, is called to investigate a mystery . . .

The murder of a Belgian lawyer aboard a train seems at first to be a simple case of revenge. But the victim was connected to British Intelligence, and possessed papers detailing the sinking of a gold-laden German ship during the war.

As Verity and Sidney dig deeper, they discover their cases are intertwined—and a lethal adversary persists. Officially, the Great War may be over, but this is a battle of nerves and wits they cannot afford to lose . . .

WW I era listen

I enjoyed the insight into the WW I and after, the young men & women fitting into a new era, challenging their parents/grandparents way of doing things.

Verity & Sydney

Very compelling and could not stop listening. Do hope there is a volume 7 on its way. Can't just stop here.

Really Fast Paced and like the 20’s Setting

I’ve read all the Verity Kent series and hope another book is coming soon. The series has the right mix of suspense with a little added romance. Great characters and I’m looking forward to subsequent books.

Best one

I was worried buying this book because of bad review. Wow what a book.
You need read previous books. This book really took a hold on me. Usually I will
Be doing my art or playing a game on a fire tablet (I listen to audible) but this book I knew I had to pay attention to the story line. I am disappointed that book 7 won't be publish until 2024. But when its published I will get it. Well done MS Huber. And thank you for your talented writing.

Great story and enjoyable listening experience

I really enjoy the author’s cleverness and creative way to unfold the story. I don’t usually like dramatic narration but I enjoy her voice, accents and how her dictation matched the period of time. Overall very enjoyable series and narrator.

Great story

I loved how history is woven into a compelling story. Author is a bit repetitive as she keeps reminding us of what’s happened in the past stories. But that makes the story a standalone book if you choose to read it that way.

Too complicated plot

It was too complicated a plot. Couldn’t follow all the machinations. Who did what & why?
