Resumen del Editor

New Orleans, 1944.

Sabotage—that's the word on factory worker Justine Byrne's mind as she is repeatedly called to weld machine parts that keep failing with no clear cause. Could someone inside the secretive Carbon Division be deliberately undermining the factory's war efforts? Raised by her late parents to think logically, she also can't help wondering just what the oddly shaped carbon gadgets she assembles day after day have to do with the boats the factory builds....

When a crane inexplicably crashes to the factory floor, leaving a woman dead, Justine can no longer ignore her nagging fear that German spies are at work within the building, trying to put the factory and its workers out of commission. Unable to trust anyone—not the charming men vying for her attention, not her unpleasant boss, and not even the women who work beside her—Justine draws on the legacy of her unconventional upbringing to keep her division running and protect her coworkers, her country, and herself from a war that is suddenly very close to home.

Intriguing and well presented

My only less than 5 star assessment has to do with a couple of places in the story that required the reader to suspend disbelief. To avoid spoilers I will simply say that even though the writer established an exciting plot, well developed characters the twists and turns had some flaws. Regardless, I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next.

Kept me Guessing!

The author had me twisting to figure out who the antagonist was. I enjoyed the narrator very much.

A fun insightful read!

I enjoy Ms Evans books so much! I’m hoping this will be a start of a series with Justine and company!

A good story without all the preaching and SWJ points.

As a woman born in 56, I understand what women were fighting for.

Today’s so-called feminists are not of the same caliber or class.

Usually, I hate the books and movies written today because they shove their ideologies down their audience’s throats. (I have something to say about that, but use your imagination)

This story did not do that. Yes, women were treated differently. Yes, there was discrimination of both race and sex, but it did not overtake a thoroughly good story with well-thought-out characters. I was actually surprised by the end. That rarely happens.

So, again, thank you for writing a good book, especially at a time when excellence is not as important as the “right think.”

As we all know today, “right think” is shoved into everything.

Great story and narrator

Very well written by author. Narrator was perfect with different voices and speaking different languages! I want her to be the narrator on more of my books!

Loved It!

Great story and excellent narration will pull you in to the end. Great Listen

terrific historical fiction

Great listen!! I highly recommend it if you love science and history!! Give it a try!!

not for me

I love the Faye Longchamp series so I thought I would give this series a try. I couldn't get into it. I'm sure it's well written because Mary Anna Evans is a great storyteller. However, this particular story did not appeal to me.

Confused,, Too Short. Not a book. ????????????

Very Confused. Nothing to discuss. I must have been confused. vert shirt recording? What Gives??
