Synopsis

The second Hope Stapleford adventure is an exciting spy thriller in which secret agent Hope embarks on a dangerous mission to save her country...

It is 1939 - war has been declared and spymaster Fitzroy wastes no time in preparing his goddaughter, Hope, for a secret mission. As Euphemia Martins' daughter, Hope has the potential to be one of British Intelligence's greatest agents, but when she is ousted from an all-male think tank and relegated to the typing pool, even she starts to doubt herself.

Meanwhile, Hope's rebellious friend, Bernie, announces her engagement to a man Hope does not trust; Harvey, Hope's only asset, has vanished; and, most awful of all, Hope fears that her father is dying. Then comes Dunkirk and the threat of invasion intensifies. To her surprise, Hope is sent to a secret base, where she joins a group of auxiliary units that are expected to fight to the death should invasion occur. Fearing for her life, she must confront Nazi sympathizers among the country's elite secret service before she can learn who to trust...

I believe it would work well even if read out of order, as the essential details of t......more

Goodreads review by Rosemary on January 16, 2025

The second in the series. The story seems to plod along at a sedate pace and the all of a it rounds it's self up within a few chapters. Poor Hope seems to be thrown in at the deep end, trying to work out what she's supposed to be doing without much help and the usual British Brass, showing their ver......more

Goodreads review by Isobel on July 24, 2023

This was an average read. It took the first half of the book for me to realise that nothing much was going to happen. I won't be rushing to find the others in the series. ( As an side - the editing in my copy was awful)......more
