n the second book in the series about Electra MacDonnall and her safe-cracking family, she again comes to the assistance of Major Ramsay to track down a group of young women spying for the Nazis as bombs rain down during the Blitzkrieg.

In this audiobook from Dreamscape Media and narrated by Alison Larkin, the tension still sizzles between Ellie and the Major as they try to locate a cache of film taken by spies for the Germans. Felix returns as the longtime friend and competitor for Ellie's affections as she navigates her feelings for him and the Major.

I enjoyed this, although not quite as much as the first one since I felt the plot for the spy intrigue in this one was a little weaker. The bombing of London was well handled however, as discussed from the perspective of Ellie and her family as ordinary citizens coping with air raids, explosions, fear and destruction.

If you are a fan of this era, as I am, and like a British mystery with a lighter take, then you will love this series. Alison Larkin is impeccable as the narrator, with her beautiful, expressive voice bringing all the characters to life. Many thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape for the opportunity to review this audiobook.
