What a fun, quick historical mystery to dive into! This may have been the second in a series, but as someone who hasn't read the first one, I did not feel like reading book one was a must to understand what was going on in book two.
Set in WWII London, Ellie (Electra) McDonnell comes from a family that is known to do some petty crime. After she and her uncle are caught in the middle of a theft, Major Ramsey says they can help him when he needs a locksmith in exchange for not getting in trouble.
The Key to Deceit follows Ellie and Major Ramsey as they investigate the murder of a young woman found in the River Thames. We got all of the historical mystery investigation, espionage, and romantic tension. I really enjoyed it and I'll probably go back and listen to book one to keep the fun going.
I recommend this to those who have read the Maggie Hope series by Susan MacNeal.
