Tense mood throughout, never knowing whom to trust or whom not to. The reader really better watch their back right along with Commander Clifton and his Room Z cohorts. Although this is historical fiction it seems some 'writer's license has liberated some of it but not to worry, it is interesting and even amusing in parts despite the ominous atmosphere.
I did find some parts a bit draggy but British folks may well understand the story more fully, I think, as the time frame and setting is the King Edward VIII era with his would-be frowned upon marriage and subsequent abdication, coupled with the 'bogeymen' of facists, communists Russians, and Jews.
