Julia Kelly delivers a fun World War II mystery with “A Traitor in Whitehall.”
While working in an ordnance factory during WWII, Evelyne Redfern is recruited to work as a typist in a top secret job at Winston Churchill’s secret underground bunker at Whitehall. She is tasked with finding a mole, but while newly on the job shockingly stumbles across a dead body.
She decides to join forces with the mysterious David Poole, who works for the Ministry of Information, to solve the murder and find the mole. Will they be able to trust and respect each other enough to work together?
What follows is a delightfully fun yet suspenseful mystery filled with twists and turns and misdirections, keeping the reader guessing until the very end. Kelly creates intriguing characters, as well as a great plot.
Fans of books like the “Marion Lane” series, Rachel McMillan’s “The Mozart Code” and Katherine Reay’s “Cold War” series will love “A Traitor in Whitehall.”
Five stars out of five.
