I enjoyed reading this book so much that I quickly put the rest of the series on my wishlist at the library. I loved the character of Maggie Hope; yes, she comes across as a little modern for the time period, but she was also raised in America so she stands out anyway from the rest of the British ca...
This book was a fun ride. I really liked Maggie and the gang and the world building was immersive without needing lots of exposition or details (at least for me, as I have to been London a lot). The era already lends itself to secrecy and double agents. I am planning on reading a lot from this seri...
Series: Maggie Hope #1 This mystery/suspense novel seemed promising. It's about a young British-born American woman in WWII who takes a job as one of the typists for Winston Churchill. Unfortunately, she had previously been passed over for an actual secretary job which she thought had to do with h...
London 1940. Margaret “Maggie” Hope wants to work for the British intelligence, but as she is a woman she ends up being a typist at No. 10 Downing Street. But she has a knack for code breaking and soon she does a lot more den typing for the prime minister. This book was OK, not fantastic to read, b...

When it doesn't sell, she decides to stay in London to live, forgoing her post graduate studies at MIT to do her...
This debut, which was nominated for the Best First Edgar, had a lot of potential but I felt the storyline had far too much going on and that the characterizations were weak. I did like the setting, London during the Blitz, but did not think it was utilized very well and audio just kept going on and...
I enjoyed this but I didn't love it. As some other reviews noted, the action was completely over the top, the protagonist Maggie gave tiresome speeches on feminism, the war, patriotism, etc at literally EVERY opportunity, & historical references were crammed in which did not make for seamless readin...
