About this listen
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.

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.
A beautiful listen

At least the book was short. And free.
An Unsuccessful Attempt at Historical Romance
