The Key to Deceit by Ashley WeaverMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The second novel of five in the Electra McDonnell series is all too brief, but still quite classical in its stylings, as Ellie and her family get swept into another assignment from the utterly straitlaced Major Ramsey: a dead woman with some very interesting jewelry found on her body. The setting remains very unique for this genre, amidst the Blitz, although since we’re still in 1940 here, it leaves me to wonder how far in the timeline Weaver will ultimately get by the time of the fifth and final book. But hey, the chemistry between Ellie and Ramsey sparkles as much as it did in Book 1, and that, I’m certain, will have a very satisfying ending by the time I reach that final book.
