Critics Review
Praise for ELEANOR AND THE COLD WAR by Ellen Yardley
“Roosevelt is the book’s center of gravity, and Yardley renders her beautifully: tested by loss and personal pain, politically savvy, and attuned to the suffering at the mystery’s core, she’s an unforgettable sleuth. This series is off to a strong start.” —Publishers Weekly
“Peppered with references to familiar historical personalities from 1951 and cameos from both RFK and JFK, this is an easy read.” —Library Journal
“An engrossing story set in an era of communist hysteria.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Fans of historical mysteries will enjoy Eleanor’s (and Kay’s) foray into detective work among D.C.’s elite.” —Shelf Awareness
