One Final Turn

Electra McDonnell, Book 5

By: Ashley Weaver

Narrated by: Alison Larkin

The fifth and final installment in the Electra McDonnell series brings safecracker Ellie on a mission across World War II-era Europe to Lisbon, Portugal to rescue a key group of escaped POWs.

Ellie McDonnell is about to embark on her most perilous mission yet: go to Lisbon, Portugal to save her beloved cousin Toby who has reportedly escaped from a German prisoner of war camp. Toby has been missing since the Battle of Dunkirk and Ellie had all but lost hope in ever seeing him again until Major Ramsey, the British military intelligence officer she had been working closely with over the past few months, shared the news he’d intercepted.

Nothing will stop Ellie from finding her cousin, not even the awkward experience of having to travel to an unknown country with Ramsey after he’d dismissed her for being untrustworthy just as she’d realized she had fallen in love with him. Under the supervision of Captain Archie Blandings, a charming intelligence officer based in Lisbon, Ellie meets with undercover operatives to track down where Toby might be hiding from the Nazis and whether they are too late to safely recover him, all the while fighting her feelings for Ramsey and the incessant burden of war looming around her at every turn.

Nice ending to the Electra mc Donald series

Thoroughly enjoyed the series It was a pretty good portrayal of wartime London in WW2
Good narration

Delightful

Sad it’s the end of the series A lovely sweet building of romance Made me smile

Fantastic end to a wonderful series!

I loved the character development and that the main character, Electra was smart and innovative. A must read series. I Ms. Weaver would have added additional books to her series since I will miss her characters.

this was the best one

you saved the best for last. this book out of the series was the best one of the series. I really enjoyed it.

My favorite series

Ellie, is such an inquisitive and aware character. My favorite saying has always been ‘never give up, and never give in’. Kindred spirits. I love the way the story twists and turns. Randall is still the hero of the day. Searching for Toby as a final adventure in the series left me holding my breath more than a few times.
A wonderful story and I am pleased with the ending!
