A Traitor in Whitehall
by Julia Kelly
Ginasbookreport Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Historical Fiction / Mystery
Read This If You Love: The Rose Code / spy novels / WWII historical fiction / mystery novels
“You see, I simply adore detective fiction. Each new story contains within it the tantalizing possibility of a puzzle so fiendishly twisted that the solution may elude me until the final pages.”
Evelyne is doing her part in the war effort by endlessly stuffing bullets. Her only intrigue are the mystery novels that she loves. Soon, she finds herself reassigned to a secretive mission and finds herself locked in a room with a dead body. Working with a mysterious minister’s aid named Mr. Poole, the two set out to unravel all of the puzzles surrounding them.
“I wasn’t sweet at all. I was curious and determined to find the killer.”
This book reminded me so much of The Rose Code and the TV series The Bletchley Circle. The war efforts, the fashion descriptions, the mysteries, and the secrets all combine to enthrall you in a spy thriller with loads of historical references. This is a book that will appeal to many different readers as it crosses the mystery, historical fiction, and spy genres.
