A Mystery of World War II
When Bertie finds a woman lying in an alley, he lays his coat over her and dashes off for help. He returns with police and members of the civil defense command post, and she is gone! This encounter plus a run-in (literally) with an American girl commences friendships and a study of ciphers. Bertie also learns to forgive himself and courageously step forward with life.
Each chapter has a quote from Sherlock Holmes or from SOE (Special Operations Executive). An interesting read about how ordinary citizens became spies to thwart the Nazi reign. Ms. Hopkinson includes actual historical figures. The fictional characters are believable and likable.
*Highly recommend for those who love historical fiction and reading about World War II.
