Thank you, TLC Book Tours and Amazon Publishing, for this gifted copy and having me on your tour.

๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Brooklyn, 1942. War rages overseas as brother and sister Will and Maggie Scripps contribute to the war effort stateside. Ambitious Will secretly scouts for the Manhattan Project while grief-stricken Maggie works at the Navy Yard, writing letters to her dead mother between shifts.
But the siblingsโ quiet lives change when they discover a beautiful woman hiding under their back stairs. This stranger harbors an obsession with poisons, an affection for fine things, and a singular talent for killing small creatures. As she draws Will and Maggie deeper into her mysterious past, they both begin to suspect sheโs quite dangerousโall while falling helplessly under her spell.
With whispers of spies in dark corners and the worldโs first atomic bomb in the works, the visitorโs sudden presence in Maggieโs and Willโs lives raises questions about who she is and what she wants. Is this mysterious woman someone they can trustโor a threat to everything they hold dear?
