Playing It Safe by Ashley Weaver

5.0

Summary: This is the third book in the series featuring Electra MacDonnell and the dashing Major Ramsey, and it delivers on tension and excitement. In this instalment, Ramsey whisks Electra off to Sunderland, hot on the trail of German spies. Electra assumes an alias and befriends a group of young workers to ferret out a murderer. Ellie and the Major face life-threatening danger, the heat turns way up on their attraction to each other. It even concludes with a mind-blowing revelation.

Thoughts: I tore through this in no time, loving the action, quick pace and repartee between Ellie and the Major. The risks of moving among possible spies ratchets up the tension, and the duo pull off some gutsy sleuthing moves which have the reader holding their breath. It is becoming clear that Ellie has a choice looming: the comfort and familiarity of Felix, or the excitement and chemistry associated with Major Ramsey. I don't know about you, but I'm Team Ramsey!

A hearty thank you to Minotaur Books for the ARC which I enjoyed so much!
