My review:
Christian suspense is my favorite genre' and that is where I first ran across this author. Seven years ago she wrote a 2 book series with her daughter that was Christians suspense. I enjoyed those books and her writing style, so I have read her books that are not suspense, such as this one.
This one caught my eye because of the time period it was written in. I enjoy reading about the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and Woodhouse did a great job on weaving a fictional tale and fictional characters with historical events and people. I really liked her two main characters, and their dangerous spy mission was as good and suspenseful as a suspense novel. I have read books before where a main character was a spy, but I think this is the first book I have read where both main characters were spies.
It is interesting to see how different authors portray real historical people, and I enjoyed this author's portrayal of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
I enjoyed the book a lot, and only wished it had been a little longer. It ended way too soon. Even though it was historical fiction, the story helped remind me of the sacrifices that were made to win our freedom and to keep it.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
