The Hollywood Spy: A Maggie Hope Mystery

By: Susan Elia MacNeal

Rating: 4 of 5

I’ve read every book in this series. This, the tenth book, is unusual in that it doesn’t focus on the war. Rather, it is a murder mystery set in the United States. It also deals with the racism that was boiling over during the time period (1943). It also shows a dark side of the FDR administration in that the government covered up what was going on.

The mystery was interesting to read and, while I wasn’t surprised by the whodunnit, I still enjoyed the book.
