Summary
World War II comes to Farleigh Place, the ancestral home of Lord Westerham and his five daughters, when a soldier with a failed parachute falls to his death on the estate. After his uniform and possessions raise suspicions, MI5 operative and family friend Ben Cresswell is covertly tasked with determining if the man is a German spy. The assignment also offers Ben the chance to be near Lord Westerham's middle daughter, Pamela, whom he furtively loves. But Pamela has her own secret: she has taken a job at Bletchley Park, the British code-breaking facility.
As Ben follows a trail of spies and traitors, which may include another member of Pamela's family, he discovers that some within the realm have an appalling, history-altering agenda. Can he, with Pamela's help, stop them before England falls?
Inspired by the events and people of World War II, writer Rhys Bowen crafts a sweeping and riveting saga of class, family, love, and betrayal.

Great story. Evocative of the time.
Appalling narration. Listen 1.1 or 1.2 to enjoy this great story. Shoot the sound engineer.

For children?
The clipped and carefully enunciated voice of the narrator coupled with the rather predictable storyline with one dimensional characters meant it felt like it had been written for ten year olds. Please market it differently. I usually love all the books you suggest

Easy to listen to. Nothing special.
Vaguely similar to her Royal Spyness series, but lacks the charm and humour of those books. All right, but somewhat disappointing.

The narrative was superb and the story was great
As a historian I congratulate the author for her dedication to our past and hope that many more books are coming

Pleasant book, shame about the narrator
The book was OK, plot rather weak. Narrator not so good. She said aerodome instead of aerodrome every time the word cropped up!

Nostalgia
The story line is strong and very credible, I enjoyed it. Partially historically correct and had the listener guessing.
I recommend this story, very easy to listen to and a transport to a bygone age.
