Pacing, suspense, and a wonderful mystery make this book a real stand out in a crowded field of WWII books." -Aunt Agatha's "A cross between a Nancy Drew mystery and an Agatha Christie tale. . .its gentle humor, unexpected twists, clever heroine, and wartime setting make it a pleasurable read." -Booklist "Embedded within the strong narrative is a theme of espionage and mystery, rather than guns and bloodshed. Kelly weaves a story around her well-established foundation and keeps the reader guessing until the final pages of this book." -Mystery and Suspense "Julia Kelly masterfully weaves history into gripping intrigue in this riveting WWII murder mystery. Evelyne Redfern is exactly the kind of intrepid, plucky heroine I love to root for and the details of Churchill's cabinet war rooms were spot on and fascinating."--Madeline Martin "Call the Midwife meets Mr. Churchill's Secretary in this riveting and atmospheric mystery set in wartime London... Sharp, charming, and fast-paced, A Traitor in Whitehall marks a stellar debut for a winning and original heroine."--Mariah Fredericks
