Spitfire
is the first in what promises to be a new mystery series from author M.L. Huie. “Spunky” is the word that I’d use to describe
Livy Nash, the book’s heroine. World War
II is over and Livy is working as a proof reader at a second rate London paper
when she’s recruited by Ian Fleming (yes, that Ian Fleming) to join a covert
operation to secure the names of the members of a European-wide ring of former
Nazi agents. The British want the list
of names very badly, as do their allies the Americans and their former allies
(who are rapidly becoming the new enemy) the Russians. Livy had been a British agent working in
Paris with the French resistance during the war, and Fleming thinks she perfect
for the job of tracking down the list before the Russians can get their hands
on it. The story is well-written, the
characters flawed enough to be real, and the whole thing thoroughly enjoyable.
