I usually steer far clear of WWII-themed books, but this one was great! A Lutheran pastor, Wilbur Shellmeyer, is accused of spying for the Nazis and will be executed. Helen Meeker, who used to work for the FBI and now works directly for FDR himself, is certain Shellmeyer confessed to cover for someone else. Meeker enrolls help from her former partner, Henry Reese, and they hurry to prove Shellmeyer innocent before the execution date. However, FDR has an important assignment for Meeker, too, that includes dating the British officer assigned to Winston Churchill, who is coming to DC for a visit. Helen finds herself falling in love, confused, and running out of time to figure out the few cryptic clues Shellmeyer leaves, that will impact international security.This is episode 1 of a serial story. It fittingly ends, leaving the reader gasping for the next swipe of an ebook page. Espionage, war scenes, romance, booby traps, and an emphasis on Helen's yellow Packard help the story appeal to both men and women. I highly recommend it!I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.
