"Those in Peril" by Margaret Mayhew tells the story of Louis Duval who after the fall of France to the Nazis decides to leave France for England. After arriving in England Louis comes to stay in the lodgings of Barbara Hillyard a young widow. Louis then enbarkes back to France as an agent for Allan Powell of the Royal Navy.This is not one Ms. Mayhew's better books. The characters seem flat and not that interesting. The loving triangle was not even interesting. If you are looking for a good book by Margaret Mayhew check out "BlueBirds." It was a much better book.
