Playing It Safe

Electra McDonnell, Book 3

De: Ashley Weaver

Narrado por: Alison Larkin

As the Blitz continues to ravage London, Ellie McDonnell is approached by British Intelligence officer Major Ramsey with a new assignment. She is to travel under an assumed identity to the port city of Sunderland and there await further instructions.

Ellie, ever-ready to aid her country, heads north, her safe-cracking tools in tow. But before she can rendezvous with the major, she witnesses an unnatural death. A man falls dead in the street in front of her, with a mysterious missive clutched in his hand. Ellie’s instincts tell her that the man’s death is connected in some way to her mission. After she is reunited with Major Ramsey, the pair discovers that the dead man had ties to a counterfeiting operation, supplying German spies with fraudulent British currency to use in their operations. Even more troubling, it quickly becomes apparent someone high-up in the operation is helping to smuggle those spies into England across the North Sea.

Soon, Ellie and the major are locked in a battle of wits and a race against time with an unknown and deadly adversary. With German bombs dropping on the city and a would-be assassin shadowing their every move, it will take all of Ellie’s resourcefulness and Major Ramsey’s fortitude to unmask the spymaster and avert disastrous consequences—for England and for their own lives.

A unique and fascinating story

This book is as entertaining and intriguing as the first two in the series and just as enjoyable. The characters are refreshingly unique but quite believable. One hopes it won’t be long until there is a fourth.

Such a cute fun story set in a a time of chaos and crisis

Chaos and crisis becomes a funny who done it. Enough of the sad and harrowing truth about England in the midst of WWII. And I’m the middle of it all she’s growing and turning corners.

Action Packed Mystery

Alison Larkin. Her voice will always be Ellie for me! Idk if she has narrated other books, and I’m gunna go searching, but I have loved her for this series.

This Story is my favorite so far! Even MORE dire circumstances, new setting, and unique tasks lay before Ellie, but she isn’t easily fooled.

Ellie is tasked with a mission from Major Ramsey and this time she is given the tiniest bit of info. Lucky she always brings her lock picking kit and her keen eye. In this story she makes many a quick friend and smoothly joins just the right group when a murder happens. She may be in too deep with this one.

Gabriel Ramsey hates to enlist Electra’s help again, but her skill set and the way they work together makes him allow it. This time the other players might just get away with their smuggling, at least, they will do anything to make sure that is the case.

You’ll Find:
🪶Bird Watching
🪶Shootings
🪶A Dark Pit
🪶Their Kiss
🪶An Escape from inside a safe

This story certainly kept me in my toes, the suspense and danger escalated fast, their slow burn romance sizzled, and Ellie’s smart and wit shined.

Absolutely love this series!

This series has it all - intrigue, mystery, and romance. The Major & Ellie are a perfect combination. So sad I have to wait another year for the next book.

I Am Loving Electra

I LOVE this series - seriously great writing with twists and turns paved amongst witty cleverness. I am now veraciously addicted and simply cannot wait for Book 4 … Please hurry!!

Intriguing story with likable characters

I am so happy I discovered this series. The characters are wonderful and the plot line intriguing. Ashley Weaver can’t write them fast enough to please me. I particularly enjoyed the audio versions of the books and thought the narrator did a remarkable job bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend this series.

I love this series!!!

I’ve read all three books in this series back to back and love what Ashley Weaver is doing with this cast of characters!! This one ends on the most striking cliff hanger, so I hope Book 4 is close behind!!

Enjoying the Series

Enjoy the series good story and plots. Just enough of Felix though! Looking forward to the next book but pleeesse advance the Ramsey story love interest and close out Felix. He’s getting tiresome

Good

Another adventure and espionage during the war. The two are thrown together and there is no telling what can happen!

Fabulous!

Absolutely fun and enjoyable read!! I can’t wait to read the next book! The plot line was full of twists and turns I never saw coming:)
