Why read it?
1 author picked The War Against Miss Winter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was one of the first historical mysteries I read that was set during World War II.
I love the protagonist, Rosie. She is feisty and a bit of a smart aleck. I connected with her immediately. Rosie is an actress, and because parts are hard to come by during wartime, she finds work as a secretary for a private investigator. When he ends up dead, she takes the case to find out why.
From Joyce's list on historical mysteries with women in non-traditional jobs.
