Britain, 1941, the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training children as spies. May, Nuala (the narrator) and Eric are the newest recruits. Living in a London Mews whilst training they come across an unlikely collection of neighbours and a dead body. Is this the missing spy everyone is talking about?
The wartime backdrop was really interesting and vivid descriptions of daily life during the Blitz brought the story to life. 3🌟
