I am reviewing a copy of Penny For Your Secrets through Kensington Books and Netgalley:
Get ready to be transported back to England, 1919, where we meet former Secret Service agent Verity Kent, who is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger.
The Great War is over but for many there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend Ada’s marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from Ada’s revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder.
While working to prove Ada’s innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victim’s war work, censoring letters sent by soldiers from the front, exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequences not just for Verity, but for Britain—grow more menacing than she could have imagined.
I give The Great War five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
