Synopsis

As an undercover operative for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, Evelyn Bishop routinely embarked on deadly missions. By contrast, civilian life should be simple. Yet Evelyn, now back in Los Angeles, struggles with the responsibility of being the new president of Bishop Aeronautics, when people see her as nothing more than a beautiful socialite.

With Nick Gallagher, at least, Evelyn can be entirely herself. Once a fellow spy, now her fiancé, Nick works as a private investigator. But the mission that first brought them together is not entirely over. Evelyn receives a call from her former commanding officer, who is overseeing the Berlin Airlift. He is concerned that the Soviets are trying to recruit Kurt Vogel, a scientist Evelyn and Nick smuggled out of Nazi Germany. After six long years, there's word his wife and daughter may have survived the war. Is this a chance for a long-promised reunion, or a Russian ploy to lure Vogel to their side?

Past and present collide again when a routine case offers Nick a reunion with a childhood friend who runs a high-class "gentleman's club." The clientele includes everyone from Hollywood royalty to mobsters—to a hidden enemy who will draw both Evelyn and Nick into a web as twisted and treacherous as any they have ever faced . . .

I really loved the story except for the profanity. I deducted one star for this. This book captivated me from start to finish. I love history and I learned quite a bit. Well researched. The author makes it easy to “feel” the emotions in the story. This was the second in the series, but can be enjoye......more

This book was such an entertaining read. The history was weaved into the plot almost seamlessly, and I liked how even though Evelyn and Nick were handling separate missions, the POV switches didn't feel abrupt or disconnected. It did get a little repetitive and slow during the middle portion, but ov......more

So, as I'm coming here to write my review, I realize that this is book #2 in the series. I did not even realize that, so if you have picked this one up as a standalone, you will be fine. But I will say that the book seemed familiar, as well as the characters, and now I know why! That being said, Evely......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on April 29, 2025

"An Unquiet Peace" is an unusual mix of after the WWII activities and a chance to right a wrong that occurred during the war. Evelyn Bishop, president of an aeronautical company, so called socialite, and war-time spy, is caught in that in between place of who are you after the war. Fellow OSS office......more

Goodreads review by Dave on January 01, 2025

Los Angeles, late 1948, and our hero Evelyn Bishop is running Bishop Aeronautics like a champ while her father remains in exile. She's focused on the company but can't quite stop dipping a toe in the private investigator pool now and then. It's easy because her fiancé Nick Gallagher has taken over h......more
