UNLIKELY TRAITORS
by Clare Langley Hawthorne

A great plot and story line and the characters are strong!! This is a great read for those who love suspense and mystery!
~Shelley’s Book Case
It had good suspense, lots of suspects. Lots of drama, some action, history and a clean read.
~readalot
This book started right off with a bang. I love books that within the first couple of pages, something is afoot. This was definitely one of those books,

Synopsis:
Ursula Marlow thought she was done with death, but when her fiancĂ©, Lord Wrotham, is arrested on charges of treason, her world is turned upside down. It is the winter of 1913, and the British Parliament, unsettled on the question of Home Rule for Ireland, is shaken over allegations of a plot to sell naval military secrets to Kaiser’s Germany and liberate Ireland from English rule. For the first time, Ursula must work together with Chief Inspector Harrison to uncover the truth about Lord Wrotham’s involvement, as well as his mysterious past.
As the investigation continues, Ursula is drawn into the shadowy world of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a web of espionage and betrayal. She must race against time to clear Lord Wrotham’s name and thwart a plot that threatens not only British national security, but also her life.

My review;
I just finished reading this book and the author grabbed my interest from the first page. What does one do when her intended is arrested. He is then charged with, of all things, treason. Chief Inspector Harrison and Ursula have to work fast to find out what has really happened.   The suspense and action are wonderful and the storyline was great. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
