Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal follows the exploits of Maggie Hope, a British citizen raised in America by her aunt but now in London trying to sell the house of a Grandmother she never met. This is not such an easy task when bombs are falling all around you. Through a friend she lands a job as a typist at No. 10 Downing Street, soon working for the great man himself. But Maggie is no ordinary secretary. Before coming to London she was just about to start work on her PhD in mathematics at MIT, but her grandmother's death changed all that. Her job with Churchill is important, but in this male dominated world she knows she has much more to offer. Before long Maggie's genius with codes saves the day, but will Maggie be able to save herself? There is more at stake here than the correct answer to an equation, and Maggie discovers that she and her family are at the center of of a problem that will take all of her wits to solve.
Princess Elizabeth's Spy continues the story of Maggie Hope, now a member of MI5. She has gone through all the training at spy school, but her petite physique is her downfall, and instead of dropping down behind enemy lines she is dropped into the nursery at Windsor Castle. Tasked with uncovering a spy in the castle, she is posing as a math tutor for Princess Elizabeth. Human prejudices lead her in the wrong direction, and the Royal Family is faced with their worst nightmare. Will Maggie be able to save the monarchy and England with it? You'll have to read to find out!
Both are great for the beach...enjoy! TBC
