Operation Blackbird (Brass Compass Series Book 2) by Ellen Butler – Review by Kerry Carr

Operation Blackbird by Ellen Butler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow where to start with this story. I don’t think I’ve ever ready a spy story that has historical references before and I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t enjoy it or understand it but boy was I wrong.
I was gripped from the very first page. The author’s writing and the characters created were so engaging that I kept me reading till the end. With so many twists and turns, a lot of deception and the feeling of never knowing who you can trust it definately makes this book a page turner.
The link to historical events added a sense of realism to the story which makes the book even more interesting and gripping.
I love the character writing and the fact that there are women spies that are just as dangerous and good at the job as the men.
The whole plot of saving someone and helping a family escape without bring detected or killed made this a fast paced action adventure which you just can’t put down. I will definately look to read more from this author.
