WWII London. Evelyne Redfern has not been a secretary at Whitehall long when she makes a shocking discovery: One of her coworkers has been murdered. Dissatisfied with the investigation being done, she starts to look around on her own and is soon joined by David Poole, a minister's aide. Together, David and Evelyne begin to uncover secrets, but will it put them in danger?

This is a nice beginning to a series, and the mystery has some interesting twists and turns. There are plenty of red herrings, and the ending is clever and compelling. There is a touch of romance but it does not take over the story. I liked that Evelyne was independent and determined, even in the face of often blatant sexism from some of the men around her.
