I absolutely adored the main character, Maisie Musgrave, who works as a secretary for the BBC radio in the 1920's. She is plucky, strong and filled with humorous thoughts that the reader sees in italics. She works for Hilda Matheson, the director of Talks programming, who mentors Maisie and teaches her the ropes of working for the BBC. There is a subplot involving spying by Maisie which takes the intrigue and suspense up a notch. And of course, there is a little romance sprinkled in. All of which makes for a truly delightful read.
