Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction with genuine suspense, where the mystery matters more than the romance subplot.
You're drawn to WWII stories that centre ordinary people making extraordinary choices, especially women at Bletchley Park.
You want a book that treats class, family loyalty, and wartime espionage with the same weight a prestige drama would.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romance as the main plot rather than a secondary thread weaving through the espionage.
You find detailed code-breaking procedures or military logistics tedious rather than gripping.
You want a tightly paced standalone; this is a sprawling family saga that takes time to develop its characters.

About this book

A soldier with a failed parachute dies on Farleigh Place, the ancestral estate of Lord Westerham and his five daughters. When the soldier's uniform and possessions raise suspicions, MI5 operative Ben Cresswell is secretly assigned to determine whether he is a German spy. The investigation also brings Ben close to Pamela, Lord Westerham's middle daughter, whom he loves in secret. Pamela harbors her own secret: she works at Bletchley Park, the British code-breaking facility. As Ben investigates a trail of spies and traitors—possibly including someone within Pamela's own family—he uncovers a dangerous agenda among powerful figures that could alter the course of history. With Pamela's assistance, Ben must work to stop this threat before England falls. Inspired by World War II events and people, this novel explores class, family, love, and betrayal. Winner of the Left Coast Crime Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel and the Agatha Award for Best Historical Novel.
