Set
during the First World War, Roseanna White's A Portrait of
Loyalty takes us once again to
England's Old Admiralty Building housing Admiral Hall and his
intelligence-gathering, code-breaking staff. This time we are
introduced to Lilian Blackwell, Hall's photography expert, and Zevon
Marin, a cryptographer from Russia. Zevon, a czarist, has left his
country after his fiance was targeted due to his views on the
Bolsheviks. As drawn as he becomes to Lilian, he can not allow
himself to be the cause of another death.
White develops very personal characters that are easily liked, believable plots, and interesting dialogue. Her books are well-researched, and I highly recommend this book and each of her series. I am grateful to have received a copy of A Portrait of Loyalty from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
