"The Maggie Bright"
by Tracy Groot
by Tracy Groot
England, 1940. Clare Childs knew life would change when she unexpectedly inherited the Maggie Bright―a noble fifty-two-foot yacht. In fact, she’s counting on it. But the boat harbors secrets. When a stranger arrives, searching for documents hidden onboard, Clare is pulled into a Scotland Yard investigation that could shed light on Hitler’s darkest schemes and prompt America to action.
Across the Channel, Hitler’s Blitzkrieg has the entire British army in retreat with little hope for rescue at the shallow beaches of Dunkirk. With time running out, Churchill recruits civilian watercraft to help. Hitler is attacking from land, air, and sea, and any boat that goes might not return. Yet Clare knows Maggie Bright must answer the call―piloted by an American who has refused to join the war effort until now and a detective with a very personal motive for exposing the truth.
The fate of the war hinges on this rescue. While two men join the desperate fight, a nation prays for a miracle.

I love reading World War II novels, so I was very excited to read this one especially since the story takes place during a part of the War of which I was unfamiliar. The book started out a little slow and a bit confusing, but as the story progressed, I was drawn into the evacuation of Dunkirk. Since the story is based on the War, there are some intense parts and some parts that will make you cry. If you are a fan of historical novels especially World War II era, then I would recommend this book to you.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Tyndale Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
