Synopsis

Algiers, North Africa, 1943. After her abusive German husband left her for dead and took their daughter with him behind enemy lines, Dottie Lincoln learned that it's better to be a trained soldier rather than a victim. As a newly minted squad leader in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, she spends her days moving men and materials to the front and her nights attending mandatory dances to boost the morale of the men. Despite the grueling nature of her job, she has found a sanctuary amongst the women in the Army. When Ruth, a member of her squad, is murdered, she's devastated and determined to get to the bottom of the murder.

Dottie's company is the first group of American women assigned to a combat theater, and with Ruth's death, the entire operation is being questioned. Determined to do everything she can to help win the war, bring justice to her friend, and hopefully reunite with her daughter, Dottie must rise to the occasion before the killer strikes again.

But when her past comes back to haunt her, Dottie must prove she's not a German spy and put a stop to a deadly conspiracy that threatens the entire American war effort.

Goodreads review by Heidi on August 27, 2024

I liked the setting of WW2 in Algiers since I haven’t read more than a blip in that ww2 location. The basis of the mystery and the WAACs was interesting and lended to the setting, and what the MPs were dealing with beyond just the fighting and war. It oddly felt really repetitive especially in the d......more

Goodreads review by Linda on September 14, 2024

I received a copy for review purposes; all opinions are honest and mine alone. At its inception, the Women’s Army Corps began as an auxiliary unit serving without the same benefits as other divisions of the Army. For the most part, they were unwelcome and treated poorly. It wasn’t until after months......more
