Kept waiting to get into this book all the way through to the end. I was so excited about it because it is by the author of Life After Life and Started Early, Took My Dog. Story is about spies in WWII England. Juliet Armstrong is the main character. She transcribes the conversations of an undercover MI5 spy posing as a Nazi sympathizer. The story switches from the 1940s to the 1950s  when she is working for the BBC and also provides a safe house for an escaping communist scientist. She is being followed and threatened by someone and she tries to figure out who, but I never really understood who, what, where, when, and how. Disappointing book.
