Publisher's Summary
From Marie Benedict, New York Times best-selling author of The Only Woman in the Room, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, and co-author of The Personal Librarian, comes a captivating work of historical fiction about a young female spy who may have changed the course of American history.
The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage. Her unique access to British society leads her to a role with General George Washington's own network of spies: the Culper Ring.
Based on true events, Agent 355 combines adventure, romance, and espionage to bring to life this little-known story of a hero who risked her life to fight for freedom against all odds.

Great reader, good story, confusing pacing
Often in the book it jumps periods of time without telling you, so if you tune out for a few seconds you’ll spend the next few minutes trying to understand the conversation before realizing it’s jumped forward in time

it is not a full novel, story is good
I am so used to full novels from Marie Benedict and was excited to settle into a new one. I didn't notice how short it was and feel I wasted a credit on this book. the story was good, bit I am left waiting more. I really enjoy the author's exploration and exposition of women in history and all of her other books. a good story, just note it is pretty brief.

riveting book!
I couldn’t stop listening to this book. It was well narrated and the story got me hooked. I’m hoping for more by this author. Take advantage of this free book this month! You won’t regret it.

interesting
I listened to this on night shifts so I occasionally had a hard time with it but it's a good story about one of many spies that worked towards things they believed in. overall a good book.

A beautiful listen
I think what really completed the book was the author's note at the end, which gave you a much further appreciation for the story, based on true events.
I'm likely being too harsh because I found it very repetitive. The majority of the story was a constant exact repeat of: 1) Sneaking away to deliver information 2) Mr. Townsend complimenting her but saying he doesn't like the risk she took to get the information 3) Elizabeth reassuring him. Immediate repeat.
I understand that this is likely an accurate portrayal of the action events. But I found it lacking in the tale itself. There was no getting lost in the story.
That being said, I still very much enjoyed it and recommend it, especially to anyone interested in the power of unnoticed women as well as American history.

An Unsuccessful Attempt at Historical Romance
This is a budget version of a Jane Austen novel, replete with stilted dialogue, predictable plot points, and tired clichés. A pity, really, since the author’s basic premise is laudable: highlighting an overlooked female hero of the American Revolution. Only, tale is so sappy and overwrought, it doesn’t do this intriguing historical figure justice.
At least the book was short. And free.
