And, indeed, there does seem to be a plot underfoot to replace the reigning Royals with the recently abdicated, Nazi admiring Edward VIII and his wife, Wallis Simpson, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, once the Nazis have invaded England. In reality, she is to be on the lookout for any unusual activity that might put the future Queen of England in danger. Her new assignment is to go undercover at Windsor Castle as the maths tutor to the 14 year old Princess Elizabeth. Unfortunately for Maggie, spy school doesn't work out quite as well as she had hoped and now MI-5 is going to reassign her. Maggie, after all, is a gifted mathematician with a degree from Wellesley College and was on her way to graduate school at MIT when the war broke out while she was visiting England. Churchill's Secretary, she was leaving her post as a typist for Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Britain to begin espionage training for MI-5 (Military Intelligence Section 5). When last we left our WWII heroine, Maggie Hope in Mr. Princess Elizabeth's Spy is the second mystery in the Maggie Hope series by Susan Elia MacNeal.
