"Shaber brews a delightful mix of feminine wiles (long before women's liberation) and real-life history that will keep readers turning the pages."--Publishers Weekly"Shaber plunges readers into the life of a widow, a working woman in the middle of the war-time shortages and secrets.The suspense and details of life in 1942 all add up to a fascinating story."--Lesa's Book Reviews"This is the second in a series set in Washington, DC during WWII.  Shaber has created a wonderful cast of characters, and the descriptions of 1940s life, including shopping, dining at the Mayflower Hotel, working at the OSS, and living at a boarding house make  for a wonderfully entertaining read."--Historical Novel Society
