Betrayal at Ravenswick

Fiona Figg works for the British War Office and sometimes assists the men in RM 40 with codebreaking and planning ideas. Unexpectedly, she's given a chance to go undercover and impersonate a male doctor, Dr. Vogel, and travel to Ravenswick. Under this guise her mission is to spy on an investigative journalist, Frederick Fredericks, and ferret out whether he's a German spy.

While Fiona is getting to know the inhabitants of Ravenswick, the Countess is murdered. Everyone is being interviewed and investigated and Fiona is worried she will be found out. Can she somehow solve the murder and keep her true identity hidden? Will this somehow interfere with her very first mission?

What a great way to start this historical cozy mystery series. Fiona is such a well-rounded character...smart and tenacious...yet emotional and empathetic. This has everything I love..historical aspects, espionage, mystery...murder and a strong female lead.

Watch out now .. Fiona is a secretary turned double agent and she's going after those dastardly spies that dare to threaten her country. I already have the 2nd book and can't wait to see where her next adventure lies.
