Mrs. Roosevelt’s Confidante is the 5th book in the Maggie Hope Mystery series.
This time around Maggie is back in the U.S.A with Mr. Churchill just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Churchill has come to work out war details with F.D.R. as the U.S. enters the war. While there Maggie is pulled into the mystery surrounding the death of a woman, Blanche, who was working for The First Lady. The death of Blanche, the upcoming execution of a sharecropper, and the entrance of America into the war are all somehow connected. Can Maggie figure it out? And what about rebuilding her relationship with John?
There is a little bit of a back story involving Maggie's parents that feel extra to this story and more like setup for book 6, which is fine with me. More Maggie can only be thought of as a good thing. These are pretty easy, fast reads that are enjoyable but don't require a lot of time or effort, just good ol' escapism.
