Maggie Hope Mystery

review 1: I would rate this book as at least a 3.5. I enjoy these Maggie Hope mysteries, set in WW2 in Britain and in Europe, both for her development from a planned graduate student in math, to her challenges as a typist for Winston Churchill to becoming a spy, as well as the historical research and details of the time, when Britain was on its' own in the fight against Hitler. If not for those factors, this series would read more like a cozy. This book takes in the Japanese, as well as American and British, approaches to Pearl Harbour (who know and how much and when?). It left me wanting to read the next book, which has Maggie accompanying Winston Churchill by ship to the US after Pearl Harbour.
review 2: The most recent addition to the Maggie Hope series shows the per... moresonal after-effects of Maggie's time in Berlin. It's not the best book in the series, but does have some interesting plot twists and is better at presenting Maggie's human side, as opposed to her rather flat spy side, than the other books. Tackling the issues of PTSD and bio-weaponry as plot elements gives the book a contemporary feel. less
