This book was a story within a story revolving around the two main characters, Emma and her grandson Phil. They embark on a journey around Europe as Emma gradually reveals her hidden past. As her story unfolds you get a glimpse into the life of a spy and the dangers she faced and continues to face.

Despite the things that Emma has done you cannot help but empathise with her, knowing that it was through a mixture of naivety and belief in a better world. Her love for her brother shines through whilst her mother's deceit sends her into a world where nobody can be trusted.

Phil turns from an innocent schoolboy into a man of the world, learning himself that all is not what it seems. His love for his grandmother grows as he Emma unravels the past.

Loved the characters in this book and the story holds your attention right to the last page. Certainly keeps you guessing and not knowing who to trust.

The cover perfectly reflects the content and makes you want to start chapter 1.
