London, 1940. After years of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor—well, to themselves, anyway—Ellie McDonnell and her family have turned over a new leaf as they help the government’s war effort. It’s true that the straight-laced Major Ramsey didn’t give them much choice, but still, Ellie must admit she doesn’t miss breaking and entering as much as she might have thought. What she does miss is the challenge of unlocking an impossible code and the adrenaline rush that comes from being somewhere she shouldn’t.

So when Major Ramsey turns up unannounced with another job, she can’t say no. A woman’s body has been found floating in the Thames, with a bracelet locked onto her wrist and a cameo locket attached to it. It’s clear this woman was involved in espionage, but whose side was she on? Who was she reporting to? And who wanted her dead?

Great story that swept me along and people I liked ,and was Abel to spend time with . There will be another book with the same people . That is exciting because I like the story and want to spend more time in the story. I waited a year for this book , looks like I may wait another year for the next book .

Wonderful story

I was glad to see that the 2 storylines are not wrapped up in a neat little bow in the second novel. We get a little closer to Ellie’s mother’s story, and a little more complicated with Felix and the Major, but now it’s on the Book 3!!

I am loving this series!!!

Narrator sounds much older than the 24 year old Ellie. Book one describes Ellie as being able to fit in at a society event so the narrator’s lower class accent also feels out of place for the character.

Narrator not a great fit

This was a fantastic breather from nonfiction heaviness. Good plot. Fun dialogue w usual wry Brit style. Outstandingly performed by just one narrator. If you liked Mary Higgins Clark back in the day, you’ll love it.

Simple, engaging, enjoyable!

Light and well told. Enjoyable narrator and characters. Just a touch of potential romance in a time of war.

Great narrator and interesting plot line

First two novels were great! This was a fun series to discover. This era in history is a favourite of mine and I enjoyed the characters and their development.

Fun and intriguing

This is such a charming WWII series with a great hook. Weaver's writing gives Ellie undeniable charm on the page, which translates perfectly to audio. (I read the equally fun first book.) The narrator is fantastic too, even if I do agree she might sound a bit older than Ellie's 24 years. She exudes the right charm, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the listen!

Adore this series!
