Love this review! A 'captivating wartime mystery (that) blends the intrigue of Foyle’s War with suspense of Agatha Christie. Set (in) atmospheric Cornwall 1944 ... espionage, deception, & a country house brimming with secrets.' Angela Barnes mybook.to/BobRobbinsMy...

I would argue most reviews say more about the reviewer than the book. What we readers bring to a text can only modify what the author intended.
