The Prince of Spies by Elizabeth Camden - A Book Review

   

This book is for all of those who believe, or want to believe, in love at first sight, and that there is such a thing as a soulmate. Luke Delacroix found his in a highly unusual place, but find her he did. Marianne Magruder was smitten from the first time she saw Luke crawling out on the ice to help her rescue her nephew's dog who had fallen through a weak spot. Neither could have imagined the difficulties or the joys that would arise from their meeting that fateful day.

In this series, Hope and Glory, Camden's story revolves around the safety of the food industry in the United States. We may still be concerned when we see some of the virtually unpronounceable things that are added to our foods, but we should be grateful to the people whose work and sacrifices mentioned in this story led to the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act, and eventually to the establishment of the Food and Drug Administration. Camden takes what could be a rather dry topic, and builds her story around it, filling it with romance and intrigue. She is a skilled writer who always offers her readers an entertaining story with depth.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of The Prince of Spies from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
