jcb820's review against another edition
1.0
Did not finish this book, which was so disappointing compared to the first book in the series. In comparison, this installment’s group of supporting characters felt like flat stereotypes, and we end up spending way too much time with Ilona, Poppy’s interior monologue-written creation, which got old really fast. The romance was uninspired and felt like we were retracing old ground that was resolved in the first book. I couldn’t force myself to finish it.

Poppy Redfern and the Fatal Flyers is an interesting look at the ups and downs of the life of British female pilots in WWII. I enjoyed following Poppy through her adventures of the making of a British morale video and exploring the airfield and all those who work there. Tessa Arlen had many twists in the story that I never expected, all the way to the end. I appreciate her intensive research into the historical facts about these women and what their life would have been like. It made the story feel so realistic. She made what could be a boring repetitive job each day seem interesting and always new. This was a new author for me but I fell in love with her writing and will absolutely read more of her books. I listened to this on audio and would like to also compliment the narrator for a job well done. Her voices and inflections made it easy to listen to and follow the story. A fun read/listen that kept my interest and never felt heavy and forced.

3.5 stars! While I didn't like this one as much as Poppy Redfern and the Midnight Murders, it was still a fun mystery with many suspects. Poppy is a delightful hero, who for once isn't left needless in danger to be rescued all the time. I just wish her romance with Griff wasn't so slow moving...icebergs move quicker than their romance. Finally, I love learning about almost forgotten World War II history and the lives of people on the homefront.
