The American Agent, by Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie Dobbs #15. As the title suggests, this book has American elements, although it's set entirely in London and Kent. We have an American journalist (the victim), her best friend, and the American airmen our victim is interviewing, with the goal of joining Edward R. Murrow's team working to help bring America into the war. We also have Maisie's new American love interest (I guess bringing the other guy back briefly was a romance red-herring). Also we have Joe Kennedy (father of Jack, Bobby, and Ted) - I knew he wasn't a great person but I didn't realize he was quite so bad. Great book. Too bad I have only two more to go before I'm entirely caught up with the series. Oh! The internet tells me the one coming out next year will wrap up the series! Aww.

Today was a typical Monday - bit of work, then visited the library and ate at the Bier Stein with J, D, and DG. Haydn class online in the evening, then I mostly read. Plenty cold tonight - 26°F.
