Operation Blackbird (Brass Compass Series Book 2) by Ellen Butler – Review by Jamie Burns

Operation Blackbird is the second book of the Brass Compass series by Ellen Butler. The reader is teleported straight back in time to 1952 with Mirriam as the female lead character whose mission is to help a scientist defect from communist Russia. Unfortunately, things go sideways, and she must find a way to save the family. I was fully immersed in the book from the beginning and could not put it down. I have never read a book that had me on the edge of my seat like Operation Blackbird. If you know someone who loves a thrilling spy book, this is the perfect read for them!
