His Majesty's Hope by Susan Elia MacNeal MYS Mac


This book is the third in a series.  I didn't know that!  So don't worry if you haven't read the first two because this one is enjoyable all by itself.  The "Hope" in the title is a double entendre.  Besides the obvious it also refers to the name of our heroine - Maggie Hope.  Apparently in the first two books she worked really hard and now she is a member of the Special Operations Executive. This group was sent to Europe to help the British in the war effort.  (WWII).  When Maggie is tapped to go to Berlin it is much more than checking for her passport.  It includes such things as packing her cyanide pill and changing the fillings in her teeth which could give her away as British.  This book has it all - history, romance, suspense, characters to love and of course the Nazis to hate.  I enjoyed the historical notes that MacNeal added at the end to explain the reality of what was in the book.  It is a very readable and entertaining book.  You can check it out as a book or an audio book from us or as an ebook or downloadable book from WILBOR.
