I am quite a big fan of this series so I was delighted to be back in espionage world with Tom Wilde and Lydia Morris.
Tom and Lydia are happily settled in Cambridge and living together with their baby son Johnny when he is asked to help out once more by Philip Eaton, who works for the British Intelligence. When asked to retrieve a valuable package from Germany, he is at first hesitant to get involved again. His priorities have changed and the war is still in full force. To go to Germany would be quite a dangerous move on his part.. However, he decides that this something that he needs to do.
Once in Berlin, he liases with the widow of a German war hero, Sunny and they have to work together to get the 'package' out of Berlin. Rory Clements has written a brilliant series featuring Tom Wilde and this is another adventure packed addition to one of my favourite series. The tense atmosphere in Germany is written brilliantly and we can get a real sense of panic as Tom and Sunny are against the odds trying to escape. The descriptions of the Nazi regime are tense and definitely put me on the edge of my seat as I read into the early hours of the morning.
The historical detail is second to none and I found this absolutely fascinating reading about things that I didn't really know too much about.
Another brilliant addition to this series, I'm hoping there are more!
