Playing It Safe by Ashley WeaverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Electra McDonnell’s third mystery is a bit more of an adventure as Major Ramsey brings her to the northern English port city of Sunderland, away from the ongoing London Blitz (it’s still 1940 here in the timeline). While there’s still a bit of Nazi bombing threat to this important shipbuilding harbor, the Nazis’ true intentions here are far more insidious, as they’ve started counterfeiting national ID cards to help their spies blend in. Once Ellie learns how to spot these fakes, she needs to infiltrate the local social circles and find ways to sneak into everyone’s purses, because as the bodies start to mount, everyone in town is a suspect. Engaging in its mystery and romance alike, this book truly earns its way back to four star territory with its huge cliffhanger ending that completely turns Ellie’s world upside down.
