‘This night will haunt us for a long time...’
Being the proprietor of a bookshop is never easy, especially when you’re a woman in a man’s world. Throw in the mayhem of war and murder, recreational drugs and speakeasies and it’s a compelling read! I hope we get to see what the future has in store for Hannah and her Aunt Violet.

The publisher's blurb is a good hook, so no need to repeat. The characters are engaging, the background information clear, the plot is full of red herrings, and a twist or three. The pacing is a bit irregular, but unlike TV/films, books always get better with succeeding stories in series, so I am looking forward to the next and more.

Who thought working in a library could be so dangerous? Confronted with a murdered service man and a missing heiress Hannah finds this exactly what she needs to keep her mind off of Darius’ new job as a spy. A highly entertaining story with a satisfying ending even as the shadow of war grows darker.
