Mrs. Roosevelt’s Confidante

Of the Maggie Hope mystery series, this was probably the least suspenseful and most politically-focussed. I very timely read it over the holidays and the book is set over the holidays between 1941 and 1942, set in Washington DC.

The previous Maggie story had a lot of personal issues in it and this tale was much more of a stand-alone, solve-the-mystery and move the plot sort of tale. There was a lot of historical elements weaved into the story based on actual events with names changed for drama and storytelling.

Overall, it was a pleasant story and the pace of the writing was maintained though there was some elements that were a bit far-fetched.
