I enjoyed this,and in fact sat down and read it in one afternoon.
It's a period I know little about,so that's always interesting.
I felt for the most part though,it was very light weight,didnt go beyond surface level.

It's not a complaint,because it was exactly what I needed that particular afternoon.

The Turncoat’s Widow by Mally Becker is a great historical fiction novel that has it all: history, intrigue, mystery, suspense, well-thought out characters, and a dash of romance to boot.

I really enjoyed this book. I really don’t think that there are enough books that take place during the Revolutionary War time period. There is so much untapped potential. It was refreshing to read and follow along with a full cast of characters as they try to decipher through political intrigue, spy networks, espionage, traitors, secrets, conspiracies, and villains to overcome evil and right the wrongs.

I really enjoyed Rebecca Parcell as the main character. She is strong, smart, complex, imperfect yet likable, and is a woman wronged. Word on the street is that she is a traitor to the British, however she is wrongly accused. With the help of unlikely additional characters, Daniel Alloway and the inclusion of George Washington himself (I looooove this classy addition), the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Rebecca find vindication, happiness, and be able to help save her country in the process?....one must read to find out.

Delightful.

4.5/5 stars
