Up to page 237, this is an engaging mystery novel about the role of some orphan kids in London during World War II. But then everything wraps up neatly and ANOTHER story line starts, unrelated to the first 12 chapters. No, that's not good novelistic practice! I guess the author wanted to wrap things up from the past since this is her last entry in this series. But for me, that made the book a don't-read. Too bad.
