Struggling to make ends meet in the grips of the Great Depression, Leisl Weiss, takes a job cloaked in mystery for Leon Lewis as a spy, unearthing a dangerous secret with chilling repercussions.
Well done historical novel that drew me in with it's compelling characters and heart tugging storyline, filled with tension and suspense along the way. Leisl is a devoted mother, working hard to support her 2 children, mother, and brother after the disappearance of her husband, and I admired her determination to see it through, as well as her quick thinking.
I liked how Thirteen was shadowy at first, and how we slowly get to know him as the story progresses.
Overall, a story rich in history with excellent characters, a riveting plot, with gripping suspense. A highly satisfying read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
