Mrs Roosevelt's Confidante by Susan Ellia MacNeil

Intrepid Maggie works for Mrs Roosevelt in this series although she is travelling with Churchill on his visit to the US. When Maggie discovers that Blanche, Mrs Roosevelt's former secretary has been mudered, she attempts to solve it and finds herself in a lot of danger. Does the murder ha e anything to do with Mrs R's interest in a black man, Wendell, being sentenced to death?

Maggie's love life is also a dilemma. When she meets an old college friend, she starts thinking that her boyfriend is a bit dull, so she may have to make a choice...

I preferred the Maggie Hope books set in Europe, but this is written in Susan Ellia MacNeal's usual masterful style and she is such an engaging and lovely character that I am already looking forward to the next book!
