My thoughts
My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. My thanks also to TBConFB for the opportunity too.
The Silent Woman is the first in the Cat Carlisle series set between the two World Wars this story sets the scene for the further books to follow. I gave this story a 4 stars or 8/10.
Cat (Catherine) Carlisle is trapped, her marriage is floundering. Living in a house that her husband's single sister Isobel runs isn't an ideal situation, in fact it's hell on earth.
Cat is aware that her husband is embroiled in something, but what he's actually involved in she's not completely sure. When an old family friend recruits Cat to inadvertently spy on her husband and swap some of his paperwork to out manoeuvre other people, namely the Germans.
Can Cat act in such a way, only she knows the answer to this question and armed with a plan of sorts she finds herself embroiled in situations that she hadn't accounted for. When the finger of blame is pointed at her, she finds herself in deep water that she has to fight her way out of in any way she can.
This is a well written story that deals with family secrets, espionage, love and so much more. It's a great read and setting the scene well for further books in this series, this character driven story is well worth grabbing a copy of if you've not already read it.
