IRA tentacles!

Her Last Betrayal (Her Secret War #2) by Pam Lecky   

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Imagine finding out that your father’s an IRA lead officer working with the Germans. A father who’s deserted you and your sister for the greater cause. Who had you believe he was dead! Who did you bury in his stead? Now your sister’s dead and you want Revenge.

Sarah Gillespie is working with MI5 and when the chance to capture her father comes up, she takes it.  That necessitates having an American, Lieutenant Tony Anderson, as her partner. An American,  she doesn’t trust. He calls her Irish all the time and generally acts like a cad. They are off to Wales to locate her father and find out what the IRA is up to there. Of course things go somewhat pear shaped what with neither Sarah or Anderson communicating with each other. 

Somehow Sarah’s presence comes to her fathers notice. And this is just the beginning of a torturous time for all concerned. There are moles in the Wales office, and in Whitehall.

The chemistry between Sarah and Anderson improves, but the early part of the novel is rather dotted with stiff dialogue between Sarah and her friends. With Anderson I could understand . 

Despite this, the tension builds, and Sarah finds herself dashing through London streets trying to save a close ally of the British.
