Fans of Susan Elia MacNeal and Rhys Bowen will have fun."-- Publishers Weekly "Intriguing subplots enhance an exciting romantic mystery."-- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for the Electra McDonnell series: "Outstanding . . . Weaver populates this bright, fast-paced thriller with engagingly flawed characters and breathless action. Readers will delight at the dynamic between the leads and look forward to future adventures."-- Publishers Weekly (starred) "[A] standout series . . . As usual, lots of twists and turns, and heart-stopping descriptions of break-ins, along with the comic romantic tension between Major Ramsey and Electra."-- Booklist (starred) "Weaver has a knack for tying up her readers with thin threads of clues--just enough to let the reader unwind and believe they know what the outcome is, only to be tied up again in a new chapter."-- New York Journal of Books "Mystery, romance, and adventure aplenty in a rousing wartime setting."-- Kirkus Reviews "There are plenty of twists and turns in this compelling mystery/thriller, and the plot is so clever that it will keep readers on their toes. This series is both fun and thrilling, with just a touch of romance. Highly recommended."--Historical Novel Society "A thorny relationship between Ellie and Ramsey, a cast of colorful characters, a brisk pace, and an ironic message about the identity of true patriots enthrall."-- Publishers Weekly (Starred) "Ellie is wonderfully resourceful and divinely funny. Let's hope this expertise-and-romance-filled series continues for a very long time."-- Booklist (Starred) "Competing romances, slippery spies, and the horrors of the Blitz combined in an exciting mystery/adventure."-- Kirkus Reviews "Infused with witty romantic conflict, this historical mystery with convincing period details concludes with enticing story threads for future entries. For fans of Susan Elia MacNeal and Allison Montclair."-- Library Journal "An exciting yarn filled with narrow escapes, revised strategies and a snapshot of London in August 1940, a month before the Blitz began."-- Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star "A cracking good mystery! Ellie is a smart and gutsy new heroine, and takes them on an adventure filled with clever twists, flourishes of romance, and her signature sparkling wit."--Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries "Filled with wry humor, tight suspense, a delightful cast of characters, and a bit of budding romance."--Alyssa Maxwell, author of The Gilded Newport Mysteries and A Lady's Maid Mysteries, One of Deadly Pleasure's Most Anticipated Mysteries & Thrillers of 2024 "With many well-deployed historical mystery tropes on offer, including a juicy love triangle and a host of elegant gowns, it's an enjoyable, fast-paced lark.

SynopsisThe fourth installment in Ashley Weaver's delightful series, Locked in Pursuit follows safecracker Electra McDonnell fighting Nazis at every turn as World War II looms over London. Safecracker Ellie McDonnell hasn't seen Major Ramsey--her handsome but aloof handler in the British government--since their tumultuous mission together three months before, but when she hears about a suspicious robbery in London she feels compelled to contact him. Together they discover that a rash of burglaries leads back to a hotbed of spies in the neutral city Lisbon, Portugal, and an unknown object brought to London by a mysterious courier. As the thieves become more desperate and their crimes escalate, it becomes imperative that Ellie and Ramsey must beat them at their own game. Fighting shadowy assailants, enemy agents, and the mutual attraction they've agreed not to acknowledge, Ellie and Ramsey work together to learn if it truly takes a thief to catch a thief.
