About the Book:

Spies Infiltrate Havensbooke Hall. . .and Another Mystery Adventure Begins
 
Stephen Blake’s life goal is to protect people, especially those closest to him, but war in 1914 England doesn’t follow any rules. When Blake is informed that a noted German spy may have taken up residence at Havensbrooke Hall—his cousin Lord Astley’s estate, which is being used as a convalescent war hospital—he’s sent there to uncover the plot.
 
Lady Grace Astley has become a force to be reckoned with while Frederick is out on the war front. With Havensbrooke as a hospital, she’s shocked by the devastation the war is bringing home; but ever hopeful, she is determined to help these weary soldiers find some relief. However, not everything is as it seems inside Havensbrooke. Precious items soon start disappearing. . .and not just the kind that are worth a lot of money.
 
Through a case of mistaken identity, a comedy of errors, a kidnapping, and a race for time within the crumbling subterranean passageways beneath Havensbrooke, can Blake and Gracie work together to root out the criminals, thieves, and spies before time runs out?

My Thoughts:

I have really loved the Freddie and Grace mysteries, they are just so delightful. They start with The Mistletoe Countess, then The Cairo Curse, followed by The Juliet Code, and The Highland Heist. It wouldn’t be impossible to read this newest edition without starting at the beginning, but you certainly wouldn’t have all of the backstory and history of the characters. I’d recommend starting at the beginning of the series.

This series includes Freddie and Grace, but it puts Stephen Blake and one of his colleague’s center stage. At the same time that it gives you more main characters, it also gives you more mysteries. The different levels of events and plot twists here are superb. I love unpredictable and this novel was certainly that. I also loved seeing the growth in Grace and the humanity in Freddie and how things change, but also how the spark that we love in each character is shaped in the transformation.

I enjoyed The Bachelor Spy immensely. I recommend it to you.

I received a free, digital pre-release of this book. I am giving you my honest opinion.
