An Audiobook Review by Jackie Houchin

  I like the unusual characters in this series – a family of safecrackers, forgers, and pick pockets. But in wartime (WWII) the British secret service can’t be choosy. In this third book by Ashley Weaver, Electra is asked to do a dangerous bit of spying and lock picking in Sutherland. Of course she agrees (she thrives on danger), and is extremely helpful to the cause.

On her first day there however, she is almost run over by a truck, and someone does get killed. She is drugged, shot at, and left to drown! The danger comes from a pod of Nazi Germans infiltrating England and using bombings as distractions. They must be stopped. But in all of this, will an unlikely romance ruin it their chances!

Suspense, that bit of romance, and a very important mission kept me on the edge of my seat!  And then there is that other “personal” mystery that has run, unsolved, throughout the series. Electra seems about to learn the secret, but….  I’m eager to catch the next book in the series!

The narrator, Alison Larkin does an excellent job of voicing both female and male charactes and puts you right into the scene.
