rwbrock 's review for:
A Courage Undimmed
by Stephanie Graves
4.5/5⭐️
This is 3rd in the historical mystery series, and I’m loving this series! It’s set in an English village during WW2 and centers around Olive Bright, a pigeoneer who supplies her fine-feathered friends for a nearby agent-training facility for communication missions in enemy territory.
Olive is a feisty, nosy, intelligent young FANY who (in this storyline) is seriously considering (and begins training) to become an agent. She receives a firsthand view of the gravity of the decision as she sees off some friends on a very dangerous mission. In the meantime, she is investigating the murder of a psychic medium in her village who was poisoned, not once but twice, during a séance that she herself attended. And finally, she’s also examining her fake relationship with her undercover boyfriend Captain Jamie Aldridge (her liaison for her secret involvement in the war effort).
This story is not only fun and entertaining (Olive is a wonderful heroine!) with other well-fleshed out characters as well (including a colorful cast of villagers), but also loaded with actual historical details of the time that really resonated with me.
Recommended.
My sincere thanks to the author, NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing the free early arc for review. The opinions are strictly my own.
