Writing under a man's name, Josephine Breaux is the finest reporter at Washington's Morning Clarion. Using her wit and charm, she never fails to get the scoop on the latest Union and Confederate activities. But when a rival paper reveals her true identity, accusations of treason fly. Despite her claims of loyalty to the Union, she is arrested as a spy and traitor.
To Josephine's surprise, she's whisked away to the White House, where she learns that President Lincoln himself wishes to use her cunning and skill for a secret mission in New Orleans that could hasten the end of the war. For Josephine, though, this mission threatens to open old wounds and expose dangerous secrets. In the middle of the most violent conflict the country has ever seen, can one woman overcome the treacherous secrets of her past in order to secure her nation's future?

If you could sum up The Crescent Spy in three words, what would they be?
A Great ListenHave you listened to any of Rosemary Benson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Rosemary Benson makes the stories she performs come alive. Her character portrayals are so good that I forget that someone is narrating the story when I listen to her. Her collaborations with Michael Wallace's books have been a pleasure to listen to.A Pleasure to Listen To

In this book, the setting is the Civil War Battle of New Orleans. I've always been a bit of a Civil War history buff but don't remember ever reading one around this battle. It was early in the war, 1861- early 1862 but it was a key battle in that it allowed the Union to capture the South's largest city and take control of the Mississippi River. And, along with the history the author tells a fun story, of an unlikely heroine who is a reporter and a spy, neither of which was normal for that time for a woman.
good historical fiction
