In the 4th Maggie Hope mystery Maggie is recovering from the events of her undercover assignment in Berlin back at the training facility in Scotland.
There are a few threads woven together this time around...and here is something MacNeal has been doing well throughout this series...the reader knows what is going to happen but the characters don't and it creates a really great bit of tension.
In this volume it is approaching December 7, 1941, there is some kind of weird stuff happening with sheep, and Maggie's dear friend Sarah is among some women who have been poisoned.
The only complaint I have here is that there isn't another Maggie Hope story until Fall.
