This adult historical fiction mystery promises a twisty plot and premise sure you hook you in.

In the story, the year is 1937 and the characters are set in a time when the war in Germany has been ongoing and a civil war has started taking over Spain. The Mitford sisters are heavily divided at this time due to their political differences. Also, former maid Louisa Cannon has changed careers to work as a private detective alongside her policeman husband Guy Sullivan. One day, the duo gets a call from writer Nancy, one of the Mitfords, hoping that they can look into why her sister Jessica, a Communist, has vanished in Spain. As the duo begins to look into the disappearance, they find themselves involved with the disappearance of a soldier as well, and then start realizing that the cases might be connected and there are so many secrets that are at times kept behind closed doors, that always seem to come to light at the most unpredictable times.

The book seems perfect for fans of history and wartime period dramas, as well as dysfunctional family narratives that could certainly grasp an eager reader from the first page.
