Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated His Majesty's Hope (Maggie Hope Mystery, #3) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Maggie is dropped in Nazi Germany to plant a bug in her mother's house - the mother she thought was dead. But along the way, she'll meet her half sister and get caught up in the horrors of Germany in 1941. As always with the series, I was pulled into another time and place with very real characters while I was reading. A few flaws (same ones as the two previous in the series), but for the most part I enjoyed this book.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2200 KP) rated Mr. Churchill's Secretary (Maggie Hope Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Maggie Hope gets a job as the new pool secretary to new Prime Minister Churchill in 1940 London. But as bombs begin to fall on the city, she is about to find herself caught up in a plot she never would have imagined. Again, this one was slow at times, although when the plot really got going, it was hard to put down. But the characters were so wonderful I enjoyed it even in the slow parts.

Eleanor (1463 KP) rated What Lies Between Us in Books

Jan 20, 2021

Over the past 12 months, John Marrs has shot towards the top of my favorite authors' list, and 'What Lies Between Us' does not fail to deliver.

Featuring the most messed up of family dynamics, the gasp moments keep on coming as we try to decide who is most dysfunctional; daughter Nina or mother Maggie. They both put a big claim to the title.

The writing is so gripping that once you start you just want to keep on going, so despite the disturbing content I didn't want a break.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the copy
