Smoke Signal by Marie Benedict, Kate Quinn
3.0
I wanted to love this book as it was written by two of my favorite writers, but I felt it just missed the mark.
In Smoke Signal, I was reintroduced to Osla Kendall from The Rose Code and Agatha Christie from The Mystery of Mrs. Christie. The blending of these two worlds could have been magical, espionage and a mystery writer, how could you go wrong, but it just didn't have that spark for which these two writers are known. I feel that with this storyline, the authors could have gone so much deeper, but alas, it was a novella and not a full novel, so it left me wanting.
While this is not on my all-time favorites list, it is still a good story about two amazing real-life women who served their country in a time of war.
