First thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me a digital copy of this novel in return for my review. This spy thriller was originally written in 1936. The time setting is back during WWI up to before WWII. There's lots of spies, romance and scheming. We know who the spies/bad guys are and can see everything happening unlike some other novels when even we are in suspense forever trying to figure out who it is. That can be good and bad. I like that suspense as well. Overall, a pretty good read and I thank you again for the opportunity.
