Praise for the Adelaide Becket series: 

 

Tracy takes you again back in time to an era you could only imagine about but brings it in vivid color through her story 

 

A delightful game of cat and mouse 

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent first in series book!! 

 

The writing style is easy to read and the plot COMPLETELY unpredictable!! 

 

It was a marvelous escape from reality 

 

Breathtaking start to a fantastic new series by Tracy Cooper-Posey. 

 

Succinct and yet rich in the details that create historical immersion and scenes I found easy to imagine being a part. 

 

I loooove good quality writing and I love a new series like a junkie. Just give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Book 4 of this series is just as awesome, if not better, than the first 3. It never ceases to amaze me how the author can give the readers a complete storyline in a short story. The heroine just keeps surprising us with her skills, both mental and physical. She uncovers the bad guys without even being on a mission and no matter what her boss says, she's in it till the end. The story ends with a magnificently done job and a big shock to both Adelaide and the readers. Don't pass this or the other books in the series.

An exciting and engaging story, Adele is so brave! I'm loving these short and intense adventures Adele is taking me on. Each story uncovers new facets of her life as a spy and how they impact her lifestyle and sense of self. Tension and intrigue kept me gripped in the story, and swept along for the adventure, as Adele proved yet again how brave and fearless she is in her mission to help Britain uncover German spies. I'm looking forward to getting to know more about Adele and her fellow spy companions in the next instalment of the series. I appreciate the brief recap at the start of the book but also recommend that you start at book one of the series to fully enjoy getting to know Adele's evolution as a spy and the building characterisations of each additional personality working with Adele.
