A Traitor in Whitehall ~ Parisian Orphan #1 (by Julia Kelly)

Historical fiction books that are set in WWII are some of my favorites to read. And Julia Kelly has done an excellent job with this one. When I originally started listening to the audiobook version, I had no idea it was the first in a series. But this one was so good that I will look forward to reading additional books. I loved the Agatha Christie style of murder mystery that was sprinkled throughout the pages. The historical details were handled well and the wonderful storyline will pull you in and keep you invested in the story until the very end. Getting to know Evelyne (Evie) and David as they joined forces to try to ferret out a mole and eventually solve the murder mystery. The characters are well developed and the WWII setting in London during the Blitz was interesting. I felt like I was there in the middle of the bombings and the intense need for secrecy. Evie is a wonderful heroine and I hope she will be a factor in future books. She is smart, curious, able to do her share as a spy. Can’t wait to see what adventure she discovers in the next book.
