Summary

September, 1942. Jo Hardy, a 22-year-old ferry pilot, is delivering a Spitfire when she has the unnerving experience of someone shooting at her aircraft. A few days later, she hears that another ferry pilot has been killed when her aircraft crashed in the same area of Kent. Although the death has been attributed to ‘pilot error’, Jo is convinced there is a link between the two incidents. 

Jo takes her suspicions to Maisie Dobbs, and while Maisie wants to find out why someone appears to want to take down much needed pilots, she finds it is part of a much larger operation involving Eleanor Roosevelt, the American president’s First Lady. To protect Eleanor’s life - and possibly the safety of all of London - Maisie must quickly uncover the connection.

Am a real fan of this author but this time the narrator of most of her books spoilt my enjoyment with her terrible American and Scottish accents. It was so noticeable as the main character has now married an American and so there was a lot of awful speech. I think I could have done better! Good story though as always.

Excellent story as always
