Eleanor and the Cold War By Ellen Yardley
This was truly an ‘era’ book. It took a few minutes for the language and pace of the book to be comfortable. In todays world we all seem to want to get to the point quickly. Once I got into the pace and language nuances of the time period, I enjoyed the journey. The characters were well established and seeing the growth of the main character Kay as she was exposed to a larger world was fun. Even though fictional, peeking into the early, youthful lives of American icons such as JFK, Jackie and a few others was quite enlightening.
I can’t wait for the next book in the series. MR (Mrs. Roosevelt) was handled with care, and tedious research. Although, this modern reader wanted to give them a cell phone sooooo badly! LOL
If you enjoy historical mysteries that are very true to period, you will absolutely want to read Eleanor and The Cold War.
