Wonderful
Set during the First World War, Roseanna White's A Portrait of Loyalty takes us once again to England's Old Admiralty Building housing Admiral Hall and his intelligence-gathering, code-breaking staff. This time we are introduced to Lilian Blackwell, Hall's photography expert, and Zevon Marin, a cryptographer from Russia. Zevon, a czarist, has left his country after his fiance was targeted due to his views on the Bolsheviks. As drawn as he becomes to Lilian, he can not allow himself to be the cause of another death.
White develops very personal characters that are easily liked, believable plots, and interesting dialogue. Her books are well-researched, and I highly recommend this book and each of her series. I am grateful to have received a copy of A Portrait of Loyalty from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
