Whether the mystery is set in past or present, she delights in giving her books a good dose of romance and a few research facts she hopes you’ll find as interesting as she does.

As the war heats up in 1940, Evelyne Redfern, once known as “the Parisian Orphan,” has barely begun working in Churchill’s cabinet war rooms as a secretary when she discovers one of the girls she works with murdered. A fan of classic murder mysteries, Evelyne takes it upon herself to look into her co-worker’s death, and finds herself being thwarted at every turn by David Poole, the minister’s aide—until she discovers David is there to uncover a government traitor. The two must then work together to keep England’s secrets safe from the enemy as they risk their lives to uncover a killer.
