This book was a top 10 pick for me the year it came out.\u00a0 Here’s the publisher’s description: 1940, England: Evelyne Redfern, known as \u201cThe Parisian Orphan\u201d as a child, is working on the line at a munitions factory in wartime London. When Mr. Fletcher, one of her father\u2019s old friends, spots Evelyne on a night out, Evelyne finds herself plunged into the world of Prime Minister Winston Churchill\u2019s cabinet war rooms.<\/p>\n

However, shortly after she settles into her new role as a secretary, one of the girls at work is murdered, and Evelyne must use all of her amateur sleuthing expertise to find the killer. But doing so puts her right in the path of David Poole, a cagey minister\u2019s aide who seems determined to thwart her investigations. That is, until Evelyne finds out David\u2019s real mission is to root out a mole selling government secrets to Britain\u2019s enemies, and the pair begrudgingly team up.<\/p>\n

With her quick wit, sharp eyes, and determination, will Evelyne be able to find out who\u2019s been selling England\u2019s secrets and catch a killer, all while battling her growing attraction to David?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
