The Key to Deceit by Ashley Weaver

3.0

This was a fun historical fiction murder mystery. This is the second book in the Electra McDonnell series but I didn’t read the first and could easily follow along. I really liked Ellie’s character and found her tenacious and sassy. The relationship between Major Ramsey and Ellie is enjoyable and I’m sure is developed more in the first book which I’ll check out. I was really hoping for a romantic connection there but, alas, that was not where the story went. I liked that part of the story unfolded as air raids were happening in London, true to the actual time period.
