I only noticed one small issue, and without going back to the last book for verification, I’m not positive. The plot on this one was a bit boring, or perhaps I’ve just over-read the series. In any case, her treatment of the FBI agent didn’t quite match her previous disdain for him. imho. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

With the job comes two new colleagues: Alice Osborne, a propaganda expert, and Merle Ellison, a forger from Texas who just happens to speak fluent German. But when the three arrive at Fort Meade camp, to interview the first German POWs to arrive there, their mission is beset by complications. Only one of the prisoners speaks English, the army officer in charge of the camp is an alcoholic and two prisoners disappeared on the ship bringing the Germans to the states.

Louise is a 30ish widow working in the OSS in a clerical capacity when she is tagged for a job within the agency as assistant to a propaganda expert. The pay is better but some parts are a bit scary, like her very first airplane ride and then staying close to a POW camp to take notes while prisoners are interviewed. Lots of things are very real, like the effects of rationing and attitudes towards women. There are a couple of subplots that add interesting aspects as well.
Jenny Hoops is the perfect voice performance narrator as she really adds good things to the characters.
I was very lucky to win the audio in a giveaway! ( )
