The Bastille Spy immerses the reader straight into the heart of the French Revolution, seen through the eyes of the wonderfully named Attica Morgan. She is a thoroughly modern hero; a female spy who has infiltrates the highest ranks of British society and a feisty character who puts her beliefs above political will. The book balances historical fact with high adventure and works extremely well. The introduction of two further characters, especially the wily Jemmy, adds light relief to the book too. There's action from start to finish and it's clear that this book will be but one of Attica's many adventures. It's a thrilling novel and perfect for fans of both historical fiction and espionage alike.
