FBI cryptographer Eloise Marshall is grieving the death of her brother, who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor, when she is assigned to investigate a seemingly innocent letter about dolls. Agent Phillip Clayton is ready to enlist and head oversees when asked to work one more FBI job. A case of coded defense coordinates related to dolls should be easy, but not so when the Japanese Consulate gets involved, hearts get entangled, and Phillip goes missing. Can Eloise risk loving and losing again?
This was a very interesting book. Eloise is doing work that not many women of her time were allowed to do. Women weren't even thought capable of doing decoding. Phillip Clayton is an FBI agent who wants nothing more than to enlist and get into the fighting overseas. His superior has another mission for him to do. When Phillip finds out he is expected to work with a woman, he is not happy. As Eloise and Phillip travel across country to search for answers to codes being shipped with dolls, he realizes that she is an asset to his investigation.
This book is a mystery. But I wouldn't class it as a suspense or thriller. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.
I was given this book by Barbour Publishing via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
