Itis January 1944.Hitler has lost the war,which is evident to everyone but him.Maggie is asked to assassinate a high-level German scientist at a conference in Spain.What follows is a game of cat & mouse,involving double crosses & betrayals ,with Maggie totally unsure of who she can trust.Coco Chanel,as a Nazi collaborator, plays a pivotal role,which adds to the intrigue.Be sure to read the author‘s”Historical Notes.”So sad this is the series end.

I have loved this series, some installments more than others, and I was both happy and sad when I read that this was to be “The Last Hope”. I loved that Maggie was back in Europe and fighting against the Nazis like in older books. I don‘t feel that it wrapped up the story sufficiently for me so I do hope there will be a future book. It would be a disservice if not. Good installment but not the best. 🌟🌟🌟💫

kspenmoll In her “Historical Notes”, the author imagines that Maggie & friends celebrate V.E.Day at Buckingham Palace. So let‘s hope the author has at least another book in mind! 2mo
candc320 @kspenmoll that would be great! I‘d love another installment! 2mo

The finale (I think) of a series I‘ve been reading a while. Some books better than others. They got less interesting and more annoying as the series progressed. But I‘m happy to report that it ended on a high note. I think the author listened to some of the critiques of the other books. This one was less preachy and had a pretty solid story line. I don‘t know if it was sufficiently wrapped up but at least I was not irritated the entire book.

Great end to a great series. As a reader of historical mystery fiction, I am sad to see it end. Maggie is off to Spain for two reasons. First, Coco Chanel wants her to take a personal letter back to Churchill. Second, to find out if Germany has a bomb.
