While she is excited to see London, she is aware of the dangers posed by u-boats. As a member of th OSS, Louise Pearlie is being transferred from Washington to London aboard the liberty ship Amelia Earhart. The preparations for the D-day invasion have begun. Each book gradually builds the character of Louise as she finds within herself unknown skills and desires, while giving the reader an unparalleled picture of a woman's everyday life in WWII Washington DC. If you haven't read any of the Louise Pearlie books, I recommend starting with the first one, as Shaber takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the life of a woman finding her way as a single female worker in the tumultuous but opportunistic wartime capitol city. In this story, too, are new characters, as Louise finds herself among complete strangers. All of the action takes place aboard the ship, and Shaber, as always, has thoroughly researched the setting, culture, and details. To get there, she must endure two dangerous and uncomfortable weeks on a Liberty ship filled with ammunitions and supplies for the allied forces and part of a huge convoy of ships, sent together as protection against the very real threat of German submarine attacks. In this story, Louise has made a bold move - she has accepted a position in the US government's office in London.
You see the world thru her eyes, her feelings of the many deaths of sailors in the attacks, the murder of a black military women and the attempt on her white lover to cover a crime that was committed on board when the ship was coming back to the US from England and the Widow is blamed for her US Airman husband death and the way she was treated on board and by her husband family.įrom the start to finish you can not stop listening the whole audible keeps you on pins and needles.Įxcellent addition to the Louise Pearlie series, featuring Louise, a government worker in Washington, DC, during WWII. And as usual everything that can go wrong does for Louise and as usual she must try to figure who did what or did not from a previous murder to the one murder and attempted murder while she on the ship. You get to travel the ocean trying to survive the German Submarines and Airforce. Louise set sail to England in a Liberty Ship it winter, no heat and the characters you meet are of varies people a salesman, an elderly Irishman going home, a Dutch family, a widow who people believes she murder her husband and more. Of all of the books I have to say it was the saddest and the ending was like you are missing a very good friend.
