The Key to Deceit by Ashley Weaver - 4 Stars
This is the second book in her Electra McDonnell series. This book brings back Major Ramsey and another job for the country. This time is a ring of spies. I love all the characters and the storyline. I really love how Ellie loves her family and her country. The story is another great one and I really enjoyed the time reading it.

I enjoy the chemistry between Ellie & the Major, the charming secondary characters, the wartime setting & the tightly knit plot. A winner!

The Key to Deceit by Ashley Weaver is the second mystery in the Electra McDonnell series. In this mystery, Ellie McDonnell helps Major Ramsey track down the spies who are sharing information with the Germans.
This is the first I have read in this series and I absolutely loved it! I am so glad I picked up this book and I can’t wait to read the first in the series and any books to come. The characters are fun to get to know and I really enjoyed the premise of this book. It was fun to read about how Ellie and her family are turning over a new leaf and using their thieving skills for good. If you like wartime spies, strong female leads and an undertone of romance, this book is for you!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the audiobook version of this book!

This should have been more my jam--I had a ball with the first one--but the pacing felt off. I'll still read the next one, but I hope it doesn't drag as this one did in parts.

Fantastic audio narration of a great series. The Key to Deceit is the second book in the Electra McDonnell series, and it does not disappoint. Expanded review to come later. I received a free copy of this audiobook via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.
