Is it the right way to do things? Playing It Safe (by Ashley Weaver)

I love the punniness (I know it may not be a word) of the title of this book. It is the third in a series and, those who already know the books, know that safes are part of them. Readers of the first two books will be delighted with this new entry. Those just coming to the series will, I think, quickly make their way to the backlist.

Spend time with Electra/Ellie in WWII Britain under the shadow of the Blitz. Ellie is a woman of many talents, of which safe cracking is a big one. That said, she is trying to stay on the side of law and order as the story opens. Will she be able to do so as the Major of the Intelligence Department gives her new directives?

In this exciting story, readers will find counterfeiters, spies, murder and loads of excitement. It is a page turning ride for readers and highly recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
