Publisher's summary

Morton Farrier was no longer at the top of his game. His forensic genealogy career was faltering and he was refusing to accept any new cases, preferring instead to concentrate on locating his own elusive biological father. Yet, when a particular case presents itself, that of finding the family of a woman abandoned in the midst of the Battle of Britain, Morton is compelled to help her to unravel her past. Using all of his genealogical skills, he soon discovers that the case is connected to The Spyglass File; a secretive document which throws up links which threaten to disturb the wrongdoings of others, who would rather its contents, as well as their actions, remain hidden forever. This is the fourth book in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a standalone story.

Another Fantastic Story

I really enjoy this series of books. I only wish all of Nathan Dylan Goodwin’s books were in audio format, as my downtime to “read” is limited. I anticipate every dog walk with eagerness to further progress in hearing the unraveling of each genealogical tale!

A very good book

I've dabbled in geneaology. It is fascinating so the summary of this book made sense. If you enjoy a good mystery, interesting characters and places, the role of women in the British armed forces together with a touch of wisdom gained with the passage of time... you will like this.

Wonderful. and Exciting

This is a wonderful and exciting book. I couldn't turn it off. The historical aspects woven into the plot added so much intrigue and suspense and held my attention completely throughout the book. I am fascinated with Mr Goodwin's attention to details. I felt as though I was living the story as I was listening to it. The narration of the book is phenomenal and adds such creativity to the story. I have read almost all of this writer's works and have been spellbound with each one. I'm so happy Morton married the woman of his dreams. What a beautiful ending to the story!!

Another Good One

A great story if a bit confusing at times. I loved the time period it covered and found the twists to be surprising but also very believable.

Intrigue and mystery

I love the way the author set the stage if the story. Jumping from past to present made the listener have to really commit to the story. He then began to unravel the lives of so many who were intertwined, and how in the end they impacted the lives of their family, the war, and the love they shared was very unexpected.
Truly enjoyed the story.
