Absorbing story of MI5 agents during the early stages of World War Two and 10 years later in 1950, told through the eyes of Juliet who is employed to transcribe spied-on meetings by fifth columnists. Evoking the period well, it reflects the humdrum day-to-day experiences, cock-ups and other incidents of being a wartime spy and the legacy of paranoia and intrigue that lasted for decades to come.
