The Turncoat by Donna Thorland

2.0

---

I was in the mood for some seasonal reading close to Independence Day. When I did a search for Revolutionary War period books this series came up several times. A quick paced novel that has individuals falling in love at first sight (eye roll for this cynic), shooting black powder guns with startling accuracy, rapid expertise into spy like ways in a matter of months, etc. so willful suspension of disbelief is necessary. A nice seasonal summer read. I've started another by the author and am impressed with the research into 1700's sailing and impressment practices that she has done. But that's for another review.
