I was over the moon to be asked by Net Galley to review the last in the Series of the Emmy Lake books. I first came across the first book in a National Trust bookshop when on holiday and thought I will see what the first book was like - well I was hooked and read the 3 other books.

Sad to say goodbye to Emmy, Bunty and the other characters AJ Pearce has developed. The author has researched this period of time during World War 2 and those who remained on the home front.

The stories are a bit of a romp with fab friends and colleagues but there is the serious side of this time and the author tackles some of the war time issues especially in this last book - with the turmoil in Europe, prisoners of war and how the war is nearing an end.

Great series which I will now miss 

So recommended this summer and published on 3rd July 2025.
