From Marie Benedict, New York Times best-selling author of The Only Woman in the Room, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, and co-author of The Personal Librarian, comes a captivating work of historical fiction about a young female spy who may have changed the course of American history.

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage. Her unique access to British society leads her to a role with General George Washington's own network of spies: the Culper Ring.

Based on true events, Agent 355 combines adventure, romance, and espionage to bring to life this little-known story of a hero who risked her life to fight for freedom against all odds.

Quick story that makes you wonder how much might have been true. Make sure to listen to the author's notes at the end as she explains her research into this woman spy during the American Revolution that could've been real. These were brave people in a uncertain time doing what they felt was right for the good of the many, despite the risks. I think this was relatable and empowering without ruining the authenticity of the historical era.

The narrator had very clear speech and did alright with male and female voices, as well as British accents.

Clean and appropriate to the time period, this would be a good family listen. I think I heard one swear word, a man holding onto a woman tightly and leering (she is quickly extricated), brief mention of a man taking his wife to the bedroom, and some unpleasant conditions on a prison boat, but everything is pretty vaugue and is not described further than that.

A gripping narrative that transported me back to the painful birth of our nation and awakening my imagination to the danger and intrigue that Agent 355 faced in her heroic efforts to help with that birth. Whoever she may have been, she certainly deserves the gratitude of a thankful America. Skillfully written and performed this fictional narrative of a true American heroine had me spellbound from the first line to the last. I listened to it all in one sitting.

A true thought provoking journey to the Revolution
