March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore - she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst. Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal. While her future is anything but certain, this time more than ever Virginia knows that failure is not an option. Especially when she discovers what - and whom - she's truly protecting.

Quite tough for me to rate. This book was based on the true story of WWII heroine and most notorious spy, Virginia Hall. This was tense all throughout; it was sabotage and espionage. I admired Virginia Hall’s character, her endurance and strength, especially considering she has an amputated leg. There were many characters in this book that were also admirable and based on real people. Though, the writing style wasn’t really my vibe. The characters felt flat for me and some were never mentioned again after particular events. The author’s afterword provided good insight, but I still felt like these characters could have been animated better. Nevertheless, this was still a solid read. Glad to have read it.
