Summary

December 1942. As the war rages on, the accidental death of a young man is almost unremarkable. Except this young man was patrolling the grounds of Hursley Park House, where teams are designing crucial modifications to the Spitfire - and he was found clutching part of a blueprint.

January 1943. Josephine Fox is given a code name and a mission as she is seconded to Hursley: uncover the network responsible for information leaks to the enemy. And when the dead man's father visits Bram Nash convinced that his son was innocent of espionage and the victim of murder, her friend is also drawn into the investigation.

But as Jo and Bram circle closer to the truth, danger is closing in around them....

Includes an exclusive look at the next Josephine Fox mystery.

Gripping characters and plot - really enjoyed this. Very good narration too. Looking forward to book 3!

Great series

You destroy the series when you change the narrator halfway though a series. I’m not ever reviewing a brilliant book, I’m complaining about a competent reader, but it’s not who painted the original characters! Why do you do this!? Your company is called “Audible” how is this still a thing?

Why do you changer the narrator?

Much like the first book, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the UK wartime setting. One of the things I enjoyed about both this and the first book was the pacing. I never felt bored and always looked forward to the next time I could listen, which is always a good sign I've been enjoying the novel. Looking forward to the third instalment.

A great second book for the series

Really enjoyed the descriptions of a world which has long gone with good storytelling, good characters and plots.

Really enjoyed being taken into a different world

Jo is now a spy. Why? Danged if I know! It just so happens that her spy mission coincidentally is where her partner also ends up in unbelievable happenstance.

That was where I stopped a few months ago but I did enjoy the first book so I thought I’d give it another chance. I’ve now finished it and kind of wish I had just refunded it when I initially stopped. The story is really bland, the climax is uninteresting and the mystery lacked mystery. I’ll probably give the next book a shot out of curiosity and because I did really enjoy the first but expectations are much lower now.

A rather disappointing 2nd book
