Why read it?

1 author picked The Librarian Spy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Once upon a time, I was a professional librarian, and I remember thinking what a perfect placement for a spy. This would make the perfect setting for a spy novel, so imagine my surprise when this novel came along! Martin has created a fine period piece in this as well, and the reader is walking through scenes from World War II and experiencing this world through the protagonist’s eyes. I love books and films that have been set in the past, and I highly recommend this one.
