Description
The Queen's Accomplice by Susan Elia MacNeal is set in England, 1942. During World War II, London's nightly blackouts continue, and a madman is brutally killing and mutilating young women in eerie re-creations of Jack the Ripper's crimes. The victims are mostly women who report for duty to be spies and saboteurs abroad. Maggie Hope, a spy and code-breaker, is tasked with finding the killer dubbed "the Blackout Beast." A trap is set, but once the murderer has his sights on Maggie, not even Buckingham Palace can protect her. This suspenseful historical mystery is a gripping addition to the series, with meticulous research that brings wartime London vividly to life. A fine blend of suspense and intrigue, The Queen's Accomplice will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
