Maggie Hope has returned home from her undercover assignment in Berlin, injured both physically and emotionally. Assigned as an instructor at a spy training site in Scotland, her spirit remains scarred as her body recovers. Entangled in a new network of secrets, Maggie must put aside her own feelings to discover what is threatening the life of her friend and other civilians while the war rages and the global threats increase.
I thought that the plot on this mystery was a bit thinner than any of the previous but possibly that was in preparation for Maggie's next adventure. Moving forward historically, there may have been lulls that needed to be handled to get the characters to the next phase of the adventures.
Seeing Maggie battle her inner demons was enough to carry the story. Waiting for the next one!
