I am always impressed with Rachel Scott McDaniel's research and the way she weaves her stories around true historical events. The Starlet Spy is no exception, so make sure you read the Author's Notes at the end of the book. Amelie Blake, not her real name, is a Swedish born, Hollywood actress of some renown. She had been typecast as a less-than-intelligent, blond bombshell. That, along with her actual intellect and her Swedish background, made her the perfect person to go undercover for the Office of Strategic Services. McDaniel takes Amelie on the adventure of a lifetime as she aids the Allies, and possibly discovers true love.
McDaniel's writing style is crisp, flows smoothly, and is highly engaging. She creates vivid mental images, incorporating all of her readers' senses and a wide range of emotions, all made more intense by how closely the fictional events align with the true ones. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of The Starlet Spy from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

THE STARLET SPY (HEROINES OF WWII)
by Rachel Scott McDaniel
This is a delightful novel stuffed with historical facts about a young Hollywood starlet Amelie Blake, who is invited to become a spy, in her native Sweden. She is cautioned "Trust no one."
There are all kinds of historical facts in this book, it makes for quite interesting reading. Highly recommend it. Each book in this series is designed as a stand-alone.
