À propos de cet audio

 BARRY AWARD WINNER • Heralding the arrival of a brilliant new heroine, Mr. Churchill’s Secretary captures the drama of an era of unprecedented challenge—and the greatness that rose to meet it.

“With any luck, the adventures of red-haired super-sleuth Maggie Hope will go on forever. . . . Taut, well-plotted, and suspenseful, this is a wartime mystery to sink your teeth into.” —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code

London, 1940. Winston Churchill has just been sworn in, war rages across the Channel, and the threat of a Blitz looms larger by the day. But none of this deters Maggie Hope. She graduated at the top of her college class and possesses all the skills of the finest minds in British intelligence, but her gender qualifies her only to be the newest typist at No. 10 Downing Street. Her indefatigable spirit and remarkable gifts for codebreaking, though, rival those of even the highest men in government, and Maggie finds that working for the prime minister affords her a level of clearance she could never have imagined—and opportunities she will not let pass. In troubled, deadly times, with air-raid sirens sending multitudes underground, access to the War Rooms also exposes Maggie to the machinations of a menacing faction determined to do whatever it takes to change the course of history.

Ensnared in a web of spies, murder, and intrigue, Maggie must work quickly to balance her duty to King and Country with her chances for survival. And when she unravels a mystery that points toward her own family’s hidden secrets, she’ll discover that her quick wits are all that stand between an assassin’s murderous plan and Churchill himself.

In this daring debut, Susan Elia MacNeal blends meticulous research on the era, psychological insight into Winston Churchill, and the creation of a riveting main character, Maggie Hope, into a spectacularly crafted novel. 20e siècle Détective Détectives classiques Espionnage Femmes détectives Fiction Fiction féminine Historique Politique et espions Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense Winston Churchill Intéressant Guerre Confortable

Ce que les critiques en disent

Advance praise for Mr. Churchill's Secretary

“This wonderful debut is intelligent, richly detailed, and filled with suspense.”—Stefanie Pintoff

“A terrific read . . . Chock full of fascinating period details and real people including Winston Churchill, MacNeal’s fast-paced thriller gives a glimpse of the struggles, tensions, and dangers of life on the home front during World War II.”—Rhys Bowen, author of Royal Blood and winner of the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards

“Think early Ken Follett, amp it up with a whipsmart young American not averse to red lipstick and vintage cocktails, season it with espionage during the London Blitz, and you’ve got a heart-pounding, atmospheric debut. I loved it.”—Cara Black, author of Murder in Passy

“England in 1940 is the perfect backdrop for a courageous young woman who outwits the enemy. A vivid tapestry of wartime London.”—Carolyn Hart, author of Escape from Paris

“An engrossing page-turner, with a delightful and spirited new heroine in the aptly named Maggie Hope.”—C. C. Benison, author of Twelve Drummers Drumming

I really enjoyed this book, many twists and turns. However I will read hard copies of the next ones in the series since they changed narrators.

great book

Nearing the end of chapter four, and still very little action. The reader knows all about unruly whisps of hair, whiskeys, cigars and brown shapeless overcoats in the Tube... but that's it. I'm signing off.

bo-o-o-oring

As someone fascinated by WWII in Europe, I had high hopes; but this was a slog. The plot lacked focus (was it a murder mystery? a story of betrayal? friendship?), and too many pointless characters slowed everything down. I finished it, barely, as I chose to skip some sections of mind-numbing stupidity. The real deal-breaker was the narration. The narrator cycled randomly through British, Irish? accents (in what she believed to pass as an American accent), with no consistency or clear character distinction. It was often hard to tell who was speaking, not to mention disrespectful & idiotic. For the steep price of this book, I expected a far more polished production.

Disappointing listen for a WWII Enthusiast
