Susan Elia MacNeal's book, Mr. Churchill's Secretary is an Historical mystery about a British subject, raised in the US, but living in London at the start of WWII. College educated and over-qualified, Maggie Hope gets a job working as a typist at No.10 Downing Street and soon becomes involved in an investigation that ultimately leads to an assassination plot against the Prime Minister, himself. A good solid mystery adventure with twists and turns, plenty of intrigue, lots of intriguing characters, and some British history tossed in for good measure.
