Princess Elizabeth's Spy by Susan Elia MacNeal Review

 
I've enjoyed both of the books I've read in this series. In this one, Maggie is dismissed from the physical training school that is required to become a behind the lines spy. Instead, she is assigned as a Maths tutor to the young Princess Elizabeth, although in reality, she is there to protect the princess from being kidnapped. 

Maggie has to investigate a murder, finds her handler to be a disappointment, and tries to determine who wishes to do harm or kidnap the princess. In this book she faces some of her shortcomings, learns some difficult news, and still does her best to protect the princess. 


I found this to be interesting, and a nice read. It is set in World War II, and you get a nice feel for the time period, although I found a couple things questionable, especially when a character says something is "so last week". That didn't seem likely to have been said in that time frame, and it threw me off for a few seconds. But overall, it was an interesting book.


This book applies to the Alphabet Soup Challenge 2019--the letter P.
