3.0

This was a fun and cute mystery novel set in London during World War 1. Fiona Figg is our secret spy going undercover for the war effort. During her sleuthing, she finds herself solving a murder mystery as well. It was a very quick and easy read. Fiona Figg is surrounded by a supporting cast of characters, including her "niece" Kitty, her maybe fiancé, Archie and her enemy, Fredrick. They all create the typical intrigue and drama within a spy story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in an exchange for an honest review.
