Spy of Richmond on ChristianHistoricalFiction.com
I'm a big fan of espionage as a genre goes. Contemporary or historical, a bit of espionage intrigues me. Now to put it in the title you know I'm interested! The research that is put into these novels within the Heroines Behind the Lines series is very apparent. Across the board, no matter where I look or who I ask, Jocelyn gets nearly all five stars with the Spy of Richmond. Gritty yet with hope, that's how I describe her war novels. If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of reading war-time novels, and outside of Jocelyn's books I haven't spent much time studying the American Civil War (after all I am a Georgia girl bred and born) but her novels I enjoy and I'm always eager to know what she'll write next.
