Felicity's War: The Stepney Girls, Book 3 by Jean Fullerton (Corvus, 2024)

 

Felicity’s War

1941. Whilst London is battered by air raids, Felicity ‘Fliss’ Carmichael has troubles of her own. Reeling from her fiancé’s betrayal, she flees to her family home at St. Winifred’s Rectory.

 Though heartbroken, Fliss finds purpose again as a journalist. On assignment, she crosses paths with Detective Inspector Timothy Wallace, who shares

her passion for truth and justice - though not necessarily her political beliefs. Despite their differences, an instant spark ignites between them.

In a city under siege, Fliss and Tim forge an unlikely bond. But can their blossoming romance endure the perils ahead?

Felicity's War is a heartwarming historical drama. I immediately liked Felicity as the main character. She is outspoken and modern thinking with a career in journalism. She takes no nonsense from anyone, especially her fiancé and I cheered for her every time she stood up for herself.

Having not read any of the previous books in the series I enjoyed this as a standalone. The story moves quickly. I enjoyed the intrigue with Felicity and DI Wallace investigating crime and black market racketeering. The romance was also a treat. It was fun watching the pair's interactions evolve from sniping at each other to caring and developing feelings.

The author writes about the period so well that I could imagine myself there trying to grapple with food rationing and having to make do. I could also picture ordinary people trying to live a normal life in the extraordinary time of air raids and blackouts. 

I flew through this book within two days. It was difficult to put down and left me with the desire to read the previous two books in the series.
