What an incredible story of a woman with her comrades fight the Nazis. One always knows there are people secretly fighting so it’s wonderful to get to hear their story. The background information was so helpful to be able to know the character of the spy. Highly recommend especially if WWII is of interest to the reader.

I received a complimentary copy of this book "The Last Secret Agent" and all opinions expressed are my own. I listened to the audiobook. I'm glad I got to listen to the audiobook. I don't think I could have read the actual book. It was very detailed and probably would not have held my attention. I just find it amazing how these women participated in this way in the war. I did like learning about this moment in history.

This is narrative nonfiction and reads more like an intriguing WW2 espionage historical fiction novel. I expected it to be a bit dry since it’s written by a 100 year old, but it was fun and engaging! I really liked the narrator and her different voices for different characters.

It took a while for Pippa’s job in France to be fully explained. It would’ve been nice if this paragraph came way earlier in the book instead of almost two-thirds through: “It was my job to find information while moving from place to place, especially troop movements, and pass that back to home base. Of course, I would also send and receive messages about parachutages and any other information the circuit needed to communicate about. This information would come via the couriers. Katia and Lise would meet on their own “sked” every two days, to exchange intelligence. Then Maurice or I, as wireless operators, would pass it along as needed, keeping the all-important link to London alive for Scientist.”

Overall a really enjoyable and informative read! I liked that it wasn’t overly dark or sad. Pippa was so real and honest.
