One of New York Post's Best New Books to Read [A] fast-paced plot . . . Ellie is wonderfully resourceful and divinely funny. Let's hope this expertise-and-romance-filled series continues for a very long time.--Booklist (starred) Excellent... Weaver does a sensational job of evoking 1940 London and populates the story with endearing characters... Readers will hope to see a lot more of Ellie.--Publishers Weekly (starred) Competing romances, slippery spies, and the horrors of the Blitz combine in an exciting mystery/adventure.--Kirkus Reviews The setting of London during World War II comes to life in this absorbing plot with its fresh take on spying, murder and war on the home front. Each of the characters is well-developed and endearing, and Ellie's sharp wit and criminal expertise play brilliantly against the by-the-book persona of Major Ramsey and the suave, slightly felonious leanings of Felix.--Shelf Awareness As this is only the second in her series, Weaver opens the door to garnering many fans as she develops her characters and possible romances travel between Ellie and the major or Felix. It's easy to get wrapped up in Weaver's storytelling skills as she carefully unfolds her story.--New York Journal of Books The mysteries, danger, and emotional hills and valleys that are life in wartime will keep readers rapt.--First Clue
