Devil Darling Spy by Matt Killeen
3.0
Power-packed with action and intrigue, this is the long-awaited sequel to his bestselling novel, Orphan Monster Spy.
The story begins 8 months after the end of OMS, where Sarah Goldstein is a spy for the British army and considered the "Shirley Temple of Nazi high society." But she feels like she could do more.
So when her mentor, the Captain, finds out about a German doctor who's gone a little rogue in Central Africa and is creating a biological weapon that is so deadly that it could annihilate entire cities, well, naturally they'd go.
Their job is to find that doctor, and stop the weapon from being used on anyone else.
The story touches upon racism and sexism in that time period. There are other trigger warnings as well.
The story started out strong at the beginning, but fell a little flat in the middle, then redeemed itself at the end.
As in the previous novel, I found the unconventional setting during World War II a breath of fresh air.
A thoroughly entertaining novel!!
