What a rush! Leaving behind the gentile manners of Victorian and Edwardian London, Anne Perry has moved us to the more modern and violent world of 1930s Europe. Elena, our protagonist is feisty, smart, talented and fierce. Embroiled in international intrigue, family secrets are revealed, lives are imperiled and the action never stops. Always character drive, Perry has struck gold with this new series. Each character is fully developed and we are immediately drawn to them and into their world. While I know that Elena is the focus of the series, I was enthralled with her grandmother, Josephine. Only in a few scenes within the story, she packs a punch in her quiet, steely grace. I've been reading Perry's work since her first book, and she never disappoints!
