Agatha Blaine is a young salesperson in a London department store during World War II. Her fiancé is away serving as a code breaker but they've lost touch. Major Jack Bentley picks her to help find an underground Nazi group because she looks like one of the Defense Ministry's agents who has disappeared. Her training for the job is rather unique and draws her ever closer to the Major.

Lucinda Thorne writes a great book for all of us who have ever dreamed of being heroic in the face of the enemy. Agatha has no special qualifications, just a handsome man who thinks she's got some undefined quality that the Brits need to help them win the war. She's feisty, thinks on her feet, and usually manages to turn the tide in her favor with her ingenuity. The major who promises to protect her is always getting himself into a mess with buildings falling on him or bullets slowing him down.

I like the author's variety of characters, scenarios and dialogue. Sometimes I just couldn't help but wonder how much of this is just tongue in cheek humor spoofing a variety of war stories. Whether you see the underlying humor or just the unlikely heroine trying to save the day this is an interesting read.
