A Jewel in the Crown PDF by David Lewis was a quick and fun read. The settings were detailed and easy to picture.
The characterization was good, with fully realized characters, both real and fictional. I particularly enjoyed a look into Winston Churchill’s personal demons and his long-suffering body guard, Thompson.
Plot-wise, I appreciated that there were many twists and turns in the cross-country pursuit of the jewels. Although fiction, most of the action made sense, with the exception of Hector’s actual intentions in the mission.
This was not at all clear considering he walked right into the hands of the Germans. If this was his intention all along, he really screwed up witht he way he put Caitrin’s life in danger by keeping her in the dark.
I enjoyed learning about the 512 and seeing more of the SOE. This was an adventure worthy of Maggie Hope!
