The first in the Maggie Hope series.
I liked this a lot!! It was nice mix of history and mystery. Maggie Hope is a mathematician and code breaker in a time when women were not valued for their smarts but were supposed to be wives, mothers and at most typists.
Maggie wants to do more but she takes a job at 10 Downing as a typists for Winston Churchill. With the start of WWII as the backdrop Mr. Churchill's Secretary is a smartly done war story about the people of London during the start of the German bombing the city, who done it, and tale of what women can do.
